Let me just sit right down
and figure it all out.
I mean, just flat out stop
all the crap,
all the b.s.
and extra curricular activity
that engulfs the whole of me
just stop, stop, stop.

Shhhhh....
It's quiet now
and my mind is at rest
little trickles
of revelation
come sneaking in
and suddenly
this brilliant light
of understanding shines through
and nothing else matters
except for this
huge beacon
of knowing.

I get it now.
There is a purpose.
There is a plan.
There is a means
to make me aware
that I most certainly
do belong here--
that no matter how LOST
and alone I might feel
always there is this LIGHT
shining through
to guide and direct
and help me see
just what so often
seems to elude, to escape me.

I get it now.
It's just an adventure
a challenge to get through--
this life we're living
We're all here
just trying to understand
to comprehend
when all along
all we've ever needed to do
is to just STOP
and just BE.
