The Ultimate Achievement
HE WAS AN AUGUR,
SHE WAS A SIGN,
OF HOW THINGS WOULD BE
IN A MATTER OF TIME.
WITHOUT SAYING A WORD,
SHE DREW HIS ATTENTION.
TO GODS GIVEN GIFTS
WHICH ARE OFTEN NOT MENTIONED.
PEACE AND TRANQUILITY
OR JUST A REFLECTION
OF THE SPIRITUALLY ENLIGHTENED
AS SHE FACED HIS DIRECTION.
DEEP IN THOUGHT
HE HEARD HIMSELF SAY.
HOW CAN I TOO
BECOME ONE OF THIS WAY.
UNEXPECTED RESPONSE
WAS CLEARLY PROJECTED.
YOU'RE A CREATURE OF GOD
AND NEVER REJECTED.
OPEN YOUR MIND.
SET YOURSELF FREE.
SURROUND YOURSELF
WITH TRANQUILITY.
HE TURNED HIS HEAD,
TO LOOK AROUND.
NEVER BEFORE
A THOUGHT SO PROFOUND.
HE TOOK A DEEP BREATH.
THAN SET IT FREE.
THE GOAL IN MIND.
PUT THE MIND AT EASE.
IT WASN'T THAT EASY.
IT WAS MORE LIKE A TEST.
TO REACH HIS GOAL.
HE WOULD GIVE IT HIS BEST.
HE THOUGHT OF THE SIGN.
HE SAW ONCE BEFORE.
HE SAT HIMSELF DOWN.
DOWN ON THE FLOOR.
HE FOCUSED ON BREATHING.
TO SLOW DOWN THE HART.
IT ALL CAME TOGETHER,
BECAUSE THIS WAS AN ART.
STILL SITTING THERE,
AFTER DAY TURNED TO NIGHT.
HE FINALLY STOOD UP
AT THE SIGN OF SUN LIGHT.
HE STOOD ON HIS FEET.
IT WAS THEN HE REALIZED.
WHAT GOES ON IN MY HEAD.
IS SEEN THROUGH YOUR EYES
