The Poet's Path...
To delve the
essence of the world
where spirit
keeps its secrets furled
Where should the
mind that moment be?
Not in this world
- but of it free!
Not to
temptations of the heart
of mundane things
to stay apart
To silence tuned
and then to hear
such things that
ego cannot fare.
Then in this
state ideas may come
a special music,
a different drum
From deeper
levels of the mind
might spirit
yield up thoughts divine.
Pray listen to
life’s heady sounds
not to the chatter
brain compounds
A higher purpose
dare to live
The universe – an
artist’s sieve.
Now free of ego –
words will spring
linked to life’s
meaning poems will bring
Unhindered by
self-righteous qualms,
of mind to
capture nature’s psalms.
