Apprentice

Ancient Mystery, 
I am ready. 
Lend me this time 
To learn the simplicity 
Of my role 
In the Universal Equation. 

Teach me to whisper 
Words of thunder 
In reflection of 
Humanity's potential, 
So utterly amazing 
And brilliant. 

As I look upon 
My brothers and sisters, 
Let me remember 
Their spirit 
And why they came. 
We are all 
Teachers and students. 

I am your humble vessel. 
Prepare me in humility and faith 
To accept every truth 
Of this world, 
Even the lies of illusion 
Created by ego. 

I am here 
Oh, Sacred Ones. 
Train this apprentice 
To have vivid clarity 
For all you would show me. 
Sculpt me into gratitude. 

Then lead me 
To the path 
Where lightning lives 
And charges the atmosphere 
With Your energy. 
I will not be afraid.
