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.
