Thought of the day

at peace with a god mind has created ~
it becomes our faith, hotly debated

strangely enough, we never pause to ask ~
why is it we don such a fearsome mask

what were we before conditioned belief ~
if we know god, why then sorrow and grief

we know not our Self and yet we seek God ~
we find Him not because heart has not thawed

we are the blockage, we are in our way ~
with each breath may love be our heart’s mainstay
