There Are No Shortcuts
When we are driven by greed and not need,
heart is consumed by cravings of ego
and although conscience continues to plead,
demons of desire we’re loathe to forgo.
If we but take time out and gentle thought,
shifting inward our attention focus,
we find we’re at peace, no longer fear fraught,
ambling joyfully along love’s locus.
Our soul becomes what we prioritise,
so if God search is our quest, let fears rest
and renounce desires as do sages wise,
that we may be by caress divine blessed.
There are no shortcuts; we must walk the talk ~
Choose love and light, oh hermit; do not balk
