Purpose

Beyond Pride

I ask for the purpose, the answer hangs
in the emptiness of thoughts unexpressed
So there is this voice that whispers to me
and I am hard of hearing
I ask again “What purpose”!
Then I hear whispers of 2 not one, “Should she know?”
Trying to be patient, I quietly whisper. “What purpose”?
...and I hear the dialogue, “She already knows but
she refuses to recognize..she doesn’t want to see.”
 
Move on, give it all, surrender now to the call of the
Whole Soul
No more 'in vain’, relinquish pain and remain to gain
Everything with Compassion
 
This 'test’ has been brutal, this chapter opening a door
pushing me through a tunnel
'Kicking & screaming’ daily.
Going on and on like a perpetual decision based merry-go-round
As I linger & ponder & wonder ...round &round
 
NO MORE falling prey to doubt
NO MORE falling prey to uncertainty
I am sure of what’s inside
I am sure, I will not hide
I am sure that my guidance is clear.
 
Empty this mind, open this heart
See through illusion, right now start to believe!
 
Just Believe and let go
Open up and regrow beyond pride
Face the day no longer hide
to avoid the inevitable
 
Decisions are made to be modified
and moved to decide again
If it’s 'set in stone’, it’s chipped away
Or stubbornly maintained it begins to fray
 
Eventually 'tis best to decide
to believe with an open mind
To perceive with a purity of heart
Each day, hour, minute to start
With a goal of love
Nothing to prove
Only with this answer is the past removed
While all doubt fear and despair
No longer hangs in the air
Let go right here and now
Only love will provide the “how”
With PURPOSE
Oh right!...
