Reason and Desire

Covered with your mantle you spirited me away that form held my emotion held me in its sway herefore you could view me soul as clear as glass wish do I its movements desire never it to pass Vision upon vision opened mine eyes to see need to build this life for all of humanity I want to take your hand and lead you to the door fill you with inspiration and lift you even more I can build a ballroom much greater in my mind dance upon marbled floors the room I did design where the frames are gilded with silver and with gold here the strings of harps the listeners ears enfold I want to take every pain from you away and when you wake tomorrow for nothing more to pray want you to understand I wrote this just for you ever seek your happiness where Love’s unbroken true I never want you lingering in the house of vain I want to see you dancing with joy in life’s refrain to paint with every color and play with every hue to wake with a song in heart and share the things you do If I could but reach you and your spirit mend shelter all your feelings your life would I defend I would give you blue skies the mists of gentle rain flowers in the springtime an earth that’s rich in grain But someone has already given all these gifts meant them for everyone and not as man permits but you must keep seeking to fill yourself in kind always to be generous in actions and in mind To find a fluent master who can teach you the right way examine all of learning apply it in every day from a little seedling did the tree of knowledge grow until you can reach for life and the beauty of it know When you think your well is empty and the depths within are dry get up and seek the water and to its sources fly don’t linger in the darkness and traditions that are blind in life to be exalting but you its paths must find Life is a kind of music and fathomless its array it takes time and practice to master the chords you’ll play Take in life’s instruction examine all in it that’s good make your heart and mind the temple and its teachings understood COPYRIGHT © 2013 C Michael Miller via Duboff Law Group LLC?
