Peace Quest
Early days of childhood were carefree
Our joyous centred presence frolicked in play
Then we grew up and bound ourself to a mind tree
Tail began wagging the dog when desires held sway
A self-centred stance made our heart contract
In the labyrinth of life, we had lost our way
The joy heart sought, we clearly lacked
So one day we decided to change our routine
Internalising attention and forging with love a pact
Dwelling oft in silence, we regained our soul’s sheen
Bliss magnetism filled us as soundless thunder
Our sinful heart was now pure and clean
Deeming all souls one and none asunder
In thought rested awareness we were at peace
Regaining lost pristine innocence, a magical wonder
Life is a gift from God, we’ve taken on a short lease ~
Be assured on surrender, our inner joy will increase
