Centered

 My highest guru 
Lies within my heart
Truth shines 
When the surrounding walls
Of pain and anger collapse 
Peace is illusive 
Until Love takes control

My heart travels its solitary path 
Through the desert of Uncertainty 
Who I am and what I will be
Depends on maintaining my center
In the face of holocausts of displeasure 
From outside forces

I have never been practical
No need to be
Practicalities are transient
I am the air 
Eternally drawn to the flame
Communing with the earth
Evaporated from the Sea

Eagles of passion sore through me
All is united within me
Reflected in Creation's entirety
When my heart is awakened
Divinity is understood
Humanity is mourned
Flesh is illusion

A tool for some eternal purpose
For which I am an ignorant pawn
Grateful for the chance to serve
We are Spirit made Flesh
The result of a union 
Of Male and Female

Wisdom is the union of Emotion and Intellect
Producing the beauty of Love
Naked in a sea of ego
Unprotected in the face of pride
Trusting in the fairness of others
Open to the whims of humanity
Vulnerable to the choices of fate

Walls must crumble 
To enjoy its beauty
Purity demands selflessness
Opening to the other
Like a rose in June
Truth awakens. Love liberates

The crown of thorns prepared
I surrender to the Will
