Contemplate
Nothing is seen when the darkness abounds
to cover the lamp that hangs in the soul
and brings confusion that often confounds
when life gathers a storm out of control
free the mind, contemplate what is real
with inner visions of understanding
subdue what the mind may want to conceal
and hold each thought of gloom from expanding
reach for peaceful thoughts that you have within
with prayers that soar in heavenly flight
and find your internal peace once again
when your lamp is revealed and free to light
you'll allow your lighted lamp to be found
through peaceful contemplation so profound
