Journey to ourselves



Journey to ourselves

Like a journey to find ourselves and inner source
finding friends along the way
to find the selfless courage and strength to be
in this light of day

Between the worlds of good and bad
beyond what was and is to be
to transcend individual indifference and leave
control at bay

Within the fantasy of a dream
garden mazes and costume stages
come and join life’s circle

Where form disassembles and distractions
fade away
come occupy this space within
the place of mind to be

Where boundaries fade and melt away
and foreground becomes a figure
of a universe in a grain of sand or seed
come and occupy this place

Where all are free to share
and become the change we seek
in which the inner child speaks
come enter the circle

Where they lend a hand and pull you up
and let you live and be
where freedom is true and things are fair
and justice is defined in our daily deeds
