Guest guest Posted August 23, 2000 Report Share Posted August 23, 2000 Having faith that there was/is something more, About my days I went seeking the things I desired. Some things were obtained and some desires left unfulfilled, All in all much that was desired was experienced. Having faith that there is/was something higher, I dabbled in philosophy and scripture, meditation and prayer. Some things were obtained and some desires left unfulfilled, All in all much that was desired was experienced. Seeking enlightenment I set out upon my path, All in all much that was desired was experienced. Seeking enlightenment I set out upon my path, Gurus and teachers and deep meditation and vast experiences. What I wanted was victory over truth and attainment of power, To be God's own favored son above and beyond to lead the way. Living as a fool in a fool's paradise I had the grasp of it The sureness of my logic and experience were unassailable. And life slapped me around and turned me upside down And gave me more and more and more and it wasn't enough. Tired, worn down, all alone, ready to die, then I was ready, The barrier removed, the door was opened, but not by me. If I can be said to have done anything of value, It was this - taking that last faithful and willing step through. Sweet irony and I was what I sought all along and cried not having. This cloak of shadows woven about myself to hide myself from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
