In the distance a ray of light I feel,
It is strangely not the reality I around me see.
My reality is so different from what my heart yearns,
But I do still feel the inviting warmth of what my future could be.
The heat becomes stronger hour by hour
The visions of the dreaming future
It invades even in the sleeping hour
How long can this incessant burning be ignored.
The heart wants what it needs, the warmth
And no amount of financial gain
Will be able to melt the frozen core
True happiness comes only from relieving the freezing pain.
The sunlit path is clear and only your heart
You must follow and the challenging art
Will be to let go of the fear
Your heart will sing when to the warm light your draw near.
Your true self, your earthly mission
And your real reason for living.
