we are given bits a pieces...
of this puzzle to contruct...
when caught in wordly clamors...
is when... we are out of luck...

this delicate thing that we call spirit...
we must be still... to ever draw near it...
head and heart in different directions...
requires devotions... deep reflections...

without thought... no pain is wrought...
stillness of mind needs be sought...
what we think controls our soul...
to deliver ever less control...

a quiet still spot at our very core...
to find is to be lonely no more...
no judgement... know peace...
know God... no judgement...
it's as simple as this...
to know your souls...
eternal bliss...
lol...

to let go and let God...
i had to learn to detach...
from a world as i would have it...
to find a world that's perfect and good...
and it's a wonderful day in our nighborhood...

but it seems our struggles are ever ongoing...
for the ego... is so damned persistent...
it finds fault with everything...
this source from whence...
our troubles sping...

so...
"to thine 'self' be true"...
to know the ones inside of you...
"greater is he that conquers himself...
than he who conquers the world"...
to let go is to know freedom...
and to know God...is to know...
your innermost 'Self'...

love your neighbor as yourself...
how can i love my neighbor...
if i do not love myself...
it was love i sought...
yet wasn't taught...
inside i yearned...
so i learned...
i earned...
now it...
burns...

love is our course...
our existence...
our essence...
our being...
yet to keep it...
is to give it away...
so it's all up to you...
to have a wonderful day...
lol...
;-)

ps...
loved your poem...
it moved me...
obviously...
lol...
