Prosperity

Under steady clouds, here I stay freeing my soul,
  for my soul is free.
  The transformation of my fate has concluded darkness
  into the light of success.
          In my temple my heart lay a rest,
          for prosperity hisses no more.
  The sun shines clear and golden after the darkness
  has transcended.
          I can now see the beauty of the earth. 
          The once weeded garden flowers with joy, 
          planted seeds smiles.
  Under the steady clouds, I lay freeing my soul,
  for the shaft is full.
          The transformation has concluded darkness 
          into the light of success.
  In my temple my heart lay a rest,for prosperity hisses no more.
          
  Under the steady clouds, here I lay freeing my soul,
         for my soul is free, prosperity hisses no more.
