We come from the Darkness
Into the World
All of Experience
Slowly unfurled

Alone but surrounded
We walk our own paths
Searching for meaning
It’s all up for grabs

It can be treacherous
Or it can be fun
How One perceives it
Is all down to One

So go out and search
Be true to your heart
Life is for living
Not for falling apart

And it may seem hopeless
It may seem taboo
But what it seems, what it is,
Is all down to You.

This rambling message
Isn’t meant to make sense
Just to inspire
And to end all pretense

Why we’re here is unknown
That is all we do know
And all we can do
Is “reap what we sow

So scatter and plant
Delve into your life
This is the point
From where You end all strife

Believe and dream
And be who You are
Whether those dreams
Seem near or seem far

Your destiny is yours
And yours alone
Even if life
Seems a circuitous poem

Live and let live
To thine own self be true
Let all of these words
Have meaning for You

Hear wise words
And absorb them
For all gods
Are just men

Be your own God,
Your own light,
Your own hope,
In each dark night

Believe, be courageous
There’s great in us all
A person’s a person
No matter how small
