The Inward Journey
With a hymn I bring
My wandering mind to a halt.
As I close my eyes,
Peep and delve deep,
I am surprised to see a sage-like being
Seated in my heart.
O, it’s the effulgent soul,
Brimming with peace --
My happiness knows no end,
My anxieties cease.
It seems as if I have put down
The burden of centuries.
Calm and quiet,
Like the starry skies,
I see the walls built by my ego fall.
A wave of fresh energy rises.
I never thought
This inward journey would show me
Where true bliss lies…
