Awake Oh Hermit
We labor away day and night
Although deadened is inner sight
Knowing not who we truly are
Boon now bane, gift of life a blight
Guided not by Bethlehem's star
Rudderless, we've drifted afar
Conscience deadened, we're deaf and blind
Our soul blackened with sooty tar
Seeking freedom from ego's bind
Fears and desires we leave behind
Simply choosing to rest thought flow
Our breath becomes loving and kind
No sooner heart becomes mellow
We discover soul's joyful glow
Felt within as blissful thunder
Boundless rapture, we alone know
Life lived so far, a big blunder
For now we behold in wonder
That we're not mind-body but soul
Love that leaves no heart asunder
Recognising thus, our life role
Merging with God, our soul's sole goal
Enabled when our heart's tranquil
Feeling then thus, blissful and whole
