Just Beneath the Surface

Everyone is seeking a peace they want to know. Looking for that happiness but not knowing where to go. There's a million things that promise lasting joy, or so they say. But every single thing brings more struggle in its way. Some look for peace in circumstance, some look for it in health. Some claim that joy is all just chance, some look for it in wealth. But soon they're disappointed as the joy they seek slips by. The peace they thought they had starts to crumble up and die! But just beneath the surface lies the jewel of our soul. That glorious lake of peace that has always been our goal! But we must reverse our actions, we must withdraw our thoughts. We must enter into stillness where our soul is finally caught! When we calm the restless mind and still the restless breath; we enter that sacred grotto that takes us beyond death! It's in this sacred place that no worries can reside, no hurt, no pain, no struggle, only happiness inside! This wondrous heaven is within us, behind our ego and our pride. It lies just beneath the surface if you'll only look inside!
