Under the shadowy veil of reality
my lungs breathe for air,
but my mind breathes for truth.
What is this river on which my boat floats?
And what is the ground which this river runs through?
I fondle the phenomena of the substance that I am.
Feeling a magnetism and an energetic flow,
a pulsating swarm of the spirit.
I feel an inner momentum,
a powerful swirling inertia,
a churning whirlpool of desire.
Body swaying from the momentum
as it stirs me deep within.
I kneel down on the faultline
and have a séance with myself.
Spitting lofty whispers
as I babble in ancient tongue
I conjure up a guiding light
To harness an ever-escalating
purpose and intent
to unify my mind
with that of my god.
Violently winding
my inner turbine
To generate a tsunami of faith
and ride its wave
of insight and trust
until I reach the shores of my salvation.
For I’ve been stranded
on an island of negativity
garnished with berries
so dark and delicious
I've been seduced to stay
In its mirage of Paradise
For months, in a state
of sin and delusion
Cracking these sweet tainted berries
and bathing in the flavor.
Savoring the acute sweetness
as it spiraled into a thick chronic bitterness.
An enticing potion
that blurred mine eyes
in search of Pure Truth.
Crazed and ravenous
for this pacifying fruit
I devoured its buffet of vice,
And polluted my surroundings
with a snail trail of filth and grime.
Oozing a thick tar sludge of pessimism.
I sense an inner savior,
a inner ship of redemption
Searching my psychic seas
With my soul as the boat
and my spirit, the guiding light.
pursuing a reunion with my body.
My only distress signal:
a fire
fueled by virtue and charity.
For a lifetime I have thrown on
little tiny twigs
of false deeds
and fake karma
As I prayed
for them see my embers.
Yet,in one simple decision,
I can choose
to choose best.
An instant choice
to illuminate my sky
with faith and good nature.
I pray to the god of truth and harmony.
Let my light shine with you.
