Transcendence
Trapped in the open, free within
Spiralling thoughts makes our head spin
In time we lose all we hold dear
We’re burnt by desire, scarred by fear
Notice head and heart stand apart
How then may bliss ignition start
Though God within us, is so near
We’re burnt by desire, scarred by fear
We can, if we choose, be now free
Gambolling on a joyous spree
But unless we lend love our ear
We’re burnt by desire, scarred by fear
In time as our sight becomes clear
We transcend both desire and fear
