At the Mercy of the Elements

Drowning in a sea of sound
Lost in the maze of materialism
Buffeted by a blizzard of ballyhoo
Straitjacketed by the strictures of science
Swamped with the mediocrity of the mass media
Bewildered with the morality of money.

How does the spirit escape suffocation?
Where does it find its anchor?
What refuge can give it breathing space?
When does it have time to see the truth?
Why have we lost our way?
Who can show us the light?

Look deep into your heart
In a time of silence
And listen to your inner voice.
You will surely find the answer there,
If you are open to the truth.
