Stillness

The lotus flower
our inner soul
lies at the bottom
of the crystal, clear lake

Focus on the stillness
look straight down
to the bottom
See past the flesh

Past the surface
see our love
connection to each
other's heartbeat

The individual life
contains vibrancy
and joy of living
a bright, gleaming presence

We need to see
our fellow humans
in this inner state -
to feel their essence

To learn to love them,
get to know them,
touch their wisdom
truth and being.

Feel their dreams
all their visions,
they ponder with knidness
Their true nature

On the bottom
of the lake
As the fish swim
And the birds fly...

We too live our lives
with oneness,
with spirituality
of our inner and higher self

All the great knowledge,
of our inner glows
our higher purpose
remains deep in our hearts

forever...
