Are you a prisoner to life? Want to be free?
I used my brain to live life - logically smart like taught –
the ego let me know exactly where to go, what to know, to make me perfect –
what I must do, have, say, buy, and need - who I must blame, fight, judge,
grudge, hate - relentlessly, ruthlessly, replaying the past and dreading the
future – a child’s tantrum controlled every
move - it cried for scorn and suffering – whipping tirelessly with worry, fear
and guilt - justifiably, predictably, incessantly – I was a slave for its
bidding - shackled and bound to a neverending rut of dissatisfaction . . . .
One day I could do stand it no longer – I know abuse when I
see it, I refused to listen, I refused to hear, not one word did I let rear –
Silence, finally everything was perfect, sigh, no judgement, no mistake, no
regret, nothing to fret – Could it get better yet?
Alone with the quiet, wasn’t to be - I heard another voice and she was me - the one
that won’t hide and is always along for the ride, shotgun besides, we’re gonna
glide –she’s light for the space, dances and sings - no ties, no lies maybe
even no dies – I like her better, she is no tether, all storms together, what a
pleasure - Breathe she said, everything is going to be alright – I knew her right
away, she’s always come to play, to share,
dare, and bare – inspiration, creativity are her perfume – satisfaction is her
smile, gratitude and joy are her embrace, and freedom her kingdom . . .
Freedom - There it is, it is always there - Don’t forget now
- Now you know
Breathe
Your first breath of freedom - Oh, you didn’t breathe? You
don’t believe you are free?
Listen
Is it ego or spirit telling you what to do? - Don’t give in to
the silly tantrum of negativity -
Hear instead the music playing in the background - Mmm yes I
can hear it, yes, a sweet melody -
Now the epic can begin, you are the hero, adventures abound
- don’t listen to anyone, not even me -
Listen only to thee to be
