Fallen

Of the body of God
You are a member 
Your true essence you knew
But as you sought to recreate yourself anew
You lost your own face 
And your path you could no longer trace

You thought you were a tent
At the mercy of this life
And so the winds of strife
Made you lose your strength

With joy you strode along
Solacing where you do not belong
You called fear your friend
Death your foe and ego your lord
Your light lost its amber
Your truth you could not comprehend

But though fallen you are a star
Searching for your lost lane
Be a member once again 
Re-member who you really are
