Roaring oceans
call surrender
from selfish goals.
Raging mountain storms
chastise hunger
for mundane thrills.

In the tossing chaos of my mind
I hear a peaceful voice
speak this wisdom:

"When darkness
pervades your soul;
when anger and fear
grasp your heart;
when selfishness
rules your desires;
reach for yourself
and you will see
you are not the things you own
nor the beliefs you were given.

You were never
unclean or sinful,
but a being of light
hidden in a coffin.
You can open the lid
and walk out
...anytime you choose.
