What are we manifesting

The need to create is born in our heart
But heart’s desire is hijacked by ego
We see clearly head and heart stand apart 
So cause of inner conflict we now know
We recognise why life’s hit a new low
Carrying a heavy load on our chest
Born of seeds of desires we chose to sow
What we manifest becomes our life test

To restore our soul’s light is a learnt art
Requiring of us to make our thoughts slow
Patterns of old as we reboot, restart
Life becomes easy, we begin to flow
We bend down low letting God’s grace endow
Control of life from our ego we wrest
That our heart may again be pure like snow
What we manifest becomes our life test

When desires recede, we see fear depart
Our countenance acquires a living glow
As we deem all souls as one, none apart
We’re quick to repay debts of love we owe
Garnering wisdom which we alone know
Whence with each breath we offer God our best
Making our touch gentle and heart mellow
What we manifest becomes our life test

Blissful in the boat God Himself does row
To embody love and light is our quest
Bliss beats within rise, we enjoy the show
What we manifest becomes our life test
