THE HOW AND THE WAY

As I bask inside the ONE

I surrender to the NOW

I don’t know what will happen

But my spirit tells me HOW

As I float among my memories

Of who I’ve been and why

I know I can release them

With a blessing a sigh

All I’ve been and had and known

Are circling round my mind

I see now what I’ve looked for

What I’ve tried to find

Surprising as it may be

I need to look no more

I’ve found my SELF at long last

I am deep within my core

This core, it now is glowing

And shines out into my life

I know if I can just relax

It will ease all my strive

The working hard and suffering long

No longer wins the day

I’ve found this place inside me

Now, if only I can stay

Can I remember how I’m feeling

When I’m here so deep inside?

Can I be this ME in daily life?

Can I release my need to hide?

So long I’ve kept my secret

From those I feared would judge me

But, no longer can I trap my SELF

Its time to let ME be free

These prisons now are fading

With the memories of the past

As I become my SELF again

I am coming Home, at last!

So long I have awaited

For this moment of completeness

I hear, I see, I feel it

I can even taste its sweetness

If I can just remember

These sensations through my day

Not only will I know the HOW

I will also see the WAY
