Earth Life Struggle Soul Choice
Earth life struggle, soul choice made by free will
Facing turbid winds, inhospitable
Challenges shapen us, upon the anvil
Until love enabled, consciousness stable
With clear light veiled, in this form we stumble
Weary from suffering, that makes us ill
We seek joy and freedom but unable
Earth life struggle, soul choice made by free will
Fears deepen darkness, a cold, clammy chill
In despair, we look to old parables
Seeking an exit from this life downhill
Facing turbid winds, inhospitable
Look not to heavens, for a miracle
Desire the devil, stagnation evil
Flowing like the breeze, make this life simple
Challenges shapen us, upon the anvil
Oh hermit! Know that our heart, love instils
Abide in silence, not mind that babbles
With a mindful eye, each impulse distil
Until love enabled, consciousness stable
Dwelling in the void, ego disable
Delighting each moment, in joyful thrill
Life a play, not a puzzle to juggle
Cessation allows joy to overspill
Earth life struggle, soul choice
