You are what you seek
in a dream
I was surrounded by many
desperate, troubled people.
There was much drinking,
drugging, and violence.
Women were being bought and sold,
and held ransom to the dollar.
I was confused and afraid.
I wanted to run away
to protect this body,
but in my mind and heart
I wanted to stay
to help in some way.
I found myself called to stillness.
A calm voice arose from within.
These words were spoken through me.
You already are what you seek.
Stand up, unbow yourselves.
Shake off that shame and self-pity.
Look up towards your father sky
to the realm that has always been yours.
You already are what you seek.
You don’t have to drink that poison.
You don’t have to smoke that weed.
You don’t have to sell yourselves
for that demon, Mister Money.
You already are what you seek
Your heritage is fully within you,
and needs for you to come home.
There’s nothing to build.
There’s nothing to buy.
There’s nowhere to go,
and there’s nothing to do.
You already are what you seek.
Your radiant wings are fully within you,
just waiting for you to decide
to fly like the eagle you always have been.
I invite you to consider this message,
that nothing needs to change.
That who you are fully,
and what you are fully,
exists to the fullest within.
You already are what you seek.
Stand up and spread those beautiful wings,
and bring yourself clear to the edge,
now take to the wing without fear or concern,
and fly like the eagle you always have been,
in the realm that has always been yours.
You already are what you seek.
