Discard Narrow Labels

Discard narrow labels
and relinquish belief.
Take a cue from the sun
or the fresh morning breeze,
deeming all souls as one.

Discard narrow labels,
first find out who we are;
surely not body-mind
nor thoughts we hold on to,
that grip us in their bind.

Discard narrow labels,
borne of conditioning,
placing God in a cage;
our fundamentalism
is feral ego’s rage.

Discard narrow labels
to reclaim inner light
aglow within our heart.
Let’s tip toe there unshod
and God search so jump start.
