SPIRITUAL AWAKENING

Floating above all of the despair
Wondering why so many compare
Trying to find solace in triviality
Stunting growth along the way

Spiritual awakening
Waiting for another day
For facing all that is
Too much to bare

So deep enters the one
Lavishing you with knowledge
Amazing she is so rare
Moving you from complacency

Her grace is out of reach
Yet her presence is already felt
Before even entering the room
You sense a goddess approaching

No pretense here
No matter where you find yourself
You will always be looking towards her gaze
Eyes that penetrate your soul

The weak run and hide
Never to return
Those who seek the wealth of learning
Depth & knowledge they stay for more than a day

Here find heaven and face your own hell
That which is the greatest of fears
Learning to know the self
Loving the whole
Embracing the totality of you

Within the arms and eyes of unending depth
Begin a journey that always alights anew
You will find wealth in spirituality
Depth of an unfathomable soul
