Soul Search

​I think I found the soul
After searching high and low
Witness to truth
How did I not know

It was there all the time
Helping guide me along
Obscured by ego and pride
Trying to sing my own song

I wanted control
Direct my own steps
Be powerful and strong
Accomplishments to collect

Eyes opened over time
His guidance was there
I knew it and used it
Thinking the credit was mine

We want to be special
Separate and without need
Of course needing others
But fueled too by greed

The ego deceives us
Takes credit not due
Fragile and fearful
Suffering and confused

Even when successful
Its never enough
Always more out there
Hard hearted and tough

Beware of the perils 
This path if you take
Find peace in the Spirit
Better life will you make

Love for your brothers
Sisters and friends
We are of the same source
We will be meeting again

Look beyond outer armor
Find common ground within you
Self identity will be defensive
Help others discover it too
​
Let Source be the driver
Free your mind and your heart
Healing love will propel you
No better time to start
