Let It Be
Everything
is temporary.
We’re
just passing through.
Why
fear the unknown,
When
it’s really just something new?
Trying
to find some common ground,
relative
to a bigger whole.
I’m
not feeling my body,
Wishing
I could touch your soul.
Don’t
believe in oblivion,
energy
lasts forever.
Guide
the wind,
and
fly away.
Return
when you choose.
A
heart beats.
A
soul yearns,
seeking
to meld into the mystic sun.
Find
the ultimate understanding.
No
more wonder,
guessing
and hoping.
The
journey has taken hold and risen
to
another level.
Rest
for a moment
and
enjoy the view.
The
mind exists to search this new frontier.
Who
knows if it is a respite,
or
a lasting home.
If
we could channel our muse,
there
would be less to confuse.
Breathe
in the weightless air.
Float
in the quiet ocean.
The
madness can no longer affect you.
Up
and down the water moves you,
a
tiny ripple in a wave.
Smile
and know the water is your friend.
Rest
in peace.
Nothing
will ever harm you again.
