Step Back From Self

3/27, 2007

Sorrow has clipped your spirit's wings,

You can no longer fly,

O soul, you came for greater things

Let not the sacred vision die.

The years have slowed your faltering pace

And muffled heaven's call

These troubled days have veiled the face

Of One who is the One-in-All.

Watch patiently, in silence wait

Avoid the shifting sand

Of doubt that swallows small and great,

Step back from self and time's demand

For one may yet in you descend

Signaling the darkness' end.
