The Greatest Things Far and Near
A great thing about your life is how it affects other lives.
Place all of your focus, energy, and being into this, and be.
"Follow me humbly," I heard, "we will walk forward."
"Free yourself and do not fear, know I am always here."
"Your thoughts are not you, and you are a flute, played by me, the song is you"
"Your thoughts have no rhythm, though it may seem, just listen, beyond what appears"
"You are mine, and they are few, do not let them take your shoe"
"Wear it until they are blue, then give me all of you"
I say, "I am distant, I am scared, I know my maker cares. Though I am not strong now, I know I am there."
"My melody tremors and my soul is in turmoil, my spirit is weary, a mind twisted"
"a second time a skewed read, but why is there a flow?"
"Why do my questions somehow grow?"
I said, "There is no truth in this stone."
Then, "Where did the melody go?"
Nothing said, heard, or shown, beyond the stone.
I wonder what plays with my head, and where the truth is set.
Changes to my being when it tries to change a meaning.
What does it know? Only what it is told.
I pave a road to a truth beyond the ghostly stone.
I decided to begin a story written by me.
A courageous endeavor this will be indeed.
I said these words, but my fear grew more,
why must the rhythm to my life,
Continue to be defined by suffering?
Why not love? When will I soar?
Where is this hope for goodness, once more?
