Affirmative lament

Stephen Knox 1970 (Bygland)



The realization of what all this is, gets granted by our deeds.
Focus not on the hardships, with attention they grow like weeds.

When connecting with the source of us, the Hero will always emerge .
Feeling the light that’s inside you, uncertainties now have been purged.

Traveling in to see this realm, up higher than you might think.
Looking down at these worlds intertwined, evolving together in sync

Seeing the happenings of the now, consciously look inside.
Notice that worlds of division, are right on course to collide.

Looking at every problem, seeing every side.
Be forthright in your honesty and you’ll always know who lied          

 We’ve been stuck inside here since this began, nine of us come and we go.  
Understanding that the waters above, are expressly there to hold us below.

I’ve seen what things will come to pass, on the day of this brilliant light.
dark secrets finally visible, compelling us all to unite.

The knowledge, downloads or upgrades, however they are known.
Have always been deep inside you, like seeds that need to be grown

Resolving that external problems are solved deep from within. This light that gives reflection, again will soon begin.
