In Simple Words
breath by breath
as our life renews
in truth we stand
in God’s shoes
He dwells within
giving life to form
we acknowledge not
so fail to transform
mind-body awareness
feels separate from source
owing to this delusion
we employ use of force
now we do need the ego
in order to survive
but if we neglect soul
how will we thrive
ego lies in head
love pulsates in heart
thus unless both align
life quest cannot start
liberation is simple
false identity we don
transient and illusionary
whence shorn we’re reborn
we’d do well to repeat
a million times if need be
we’re soul and not body-mind
reaffirm daily until we see
fears and desires recede
we live a life internalised
engaging with life as ordained
until our true Self is realised
just as water seeks its level
if we become an empty shell
God’s love and light fills us
and then all is well
