Pushed through pain We are born In a world shattered by chaos We choke on the acid Of society burning through Our inner being dissolves Too young I grabbed the ears Of the lion and fought to keep its jaws Off my face Dodging death Again Sometime Next time Won’t come To us The ego lies While destiny hides
I do not know
Which way to go I wonder who Where and why Am I Crawling in the dark
Again I ask the stars To shine on
my life
This time
with Infinite Compassion
I finally see we are all boundless in spirit different currents in the same river we flow to the sea all our joy all our pain one day we leave it behind
I, too, love the "different currents on the same river" reference. That idea is so true. Each one of us has a different method of reaching the same end, with our Father in Heaven.
with Infinite Compassion
I finally see
we are all
boundless in spirit
You provide much substance for reflection in your verses, Joseph. Thank you. Love and peace to you,
Regis
Nice work, Joseph.
