I sat silence next to the lake under the shadow of the mountain
As I watched the ripples flow carelessly through my reflection
I reflected deeply on the ripples flowing heavy across my heart
My thoughts racing like birds
Calling my attention from everywhere
Except here
Now
I am
I am here
Sitting silently next to the lake
Under the shadow of the mountain
and as my thoughts slowly fade my focus gleams the tip of the summit
I become one with the mountain
With the lake
and peer deeply into my soul
The Universe
I am the Universe
My third eye opens and I see truths I am afraid to admit
With all I’ve lost it seems it’s time to face myself
and accept the change
I sit in the presence of a great eye looking back
I feel that connection that binds us all to nothingness
Emptiness in form
Held close by the hands of Buddha, Krishna, Christ, and Mohammad
They keep asking me why we can’t change.
Why can’t we find peace?
That’s a question for another day
Maybe another lifetime
Right now
I am here
I am present
I am fulfilled
I am love
I am compassion
I am grateful
My heart overfills with joy
My chakras align
and it’s then I know that
I am
