The Journey of Realization

Loneliness Preonliness

I am Nobody

Son of Nobody

I have nothing

I live only in the hearts 

of those who love me. 

I walk alone

I've been rode hard

and put away wet. 

I've been used and abused

and left for dead. 

I walk alone

I've given my heart

I've given my soul

Yet it wasn't enough

to pay the toll. 

I walk alone

I cling to love 

The illusion, the fantasy, the fear. 

That is all that keeps me here. 

I walk alone

Letting go is the key to the door. 

Letting go is the key to freedom. 

Letting go is the key to the kingdom. 

Going through the door is all that's left. 

Going through the door unbereft. 

Going through the door... 

I walk alone

Becoming

I am a ghost 

Dead a year or so 

Clinging to what, I do not know. 

Love? Passion? Beauty? 

All of these would be worthy. 

A soul that's bound to earthly things. 

A knot that binds and blinds and stings. 

It is courage I need

And courage I seek

Sometimes in others

Which makes me weak. 

The veil of illusion

I wish to pass

Perhaps with the help 

of some holy Mass. 

It's not in the ritual, the rite or song 

It's just in realizing, I was wrong. 

All is THAT and THAT is All

And in THAT ALL I belong.

Being

I AM the light, the bliss, the joy. 

I am the hero, the villain, the boy. 

I am the stage, the props and the toy. 

I am the playwright, the actor and even the script. 

I hold no intention yet All does arise

In light and beauty and wondrous surprise! 

If One lives as self and other

All that arises is one great bother. 

If One lives as All That Is, 

What arises is one great bliss!

Surrender the ego

Give up the fight 

Soon you will be filled with grace and light.
