From Solitude To Faith

Alone in your world of solitude, you do not wait for anyone to care
your mind and thoughts are satisfying, and with you do they share
wisdom and knowledge they are your light, what was once far is now brought near
seeking answers for all of your questions, to them guided by your inner ear

Meditating and illuminating, this world is but a testing ground for your soul
you've been reincarnated, given another chance, this world is really your parole
keep in mind with your time here, many above are watching what you do
your life ceasing and again being brought, to a place which no one has a clue

While judging your life, to the hairsbreadth of truth, your actions they will surely 
measure
for sins committed will you be punished, but for your good awaits you unforeseen 
pleasure
what is it all for, you question, the wisdom of this world is it really part of life's goal 
you don't know, but heaven wishes it so, maximizing the rewards to be earned by 
your soul

While reading my words and contemplating their meaning, maybe asking how do I 
know
what audacity I must have to write all this, thinking I just made up words for this to 
flow
then know, if you follow the truth your soul will not lie, truth is only whispered to the 
discerning ear
failing to achieve reward for your soul while still here, something really deserving of 
your fear

After all has been said, do not regret, it pays to reevaluate your direction and take 
note
if you think that after this life you'll be pushing up daisies, why bother trying to stay 
afloat
plan and purpose have we all been put here, expectations for us to try and achieve
desire for us to pass this test, to overcome our challenges and just start to believe
