The Poet's Path...<br/><br/>To delve the essence of the world<br/>where spirit keeps its secrets furled<br/><br/>Where should the mind that moment be?<br/><br/>Not in this world - but of it free!<br/><br/><br/>Not to temptations of the heart<br/><br/>of mundane things to stay apart<br/><br/>To silence tuned and then to hear<br/><br/>such things that ego cannot fare.<br/><br/><br/>Then in this state ideas may come<br/><br/>a special music, a different drum<br/><br/>From deeper levels of the mind<br/><br/>might spirit yield up thoughts divine.<br/><br/><br/>Pray listen to life’s heady sounds<br/><br/>not to the chatter brain compounds<br/><br/>A higher purpose dare to live<br/><br/>The universe – an artist’s sieve.<br/><br/><br/>Now free of ego – words will spring<br/><br/>linked to life’s meaning poems will bring<br/><br/>Unhindered by self-righteous qualms, <br/><br/>of mind to capture nature’s psalms.<br/><br/><br/>Copyright 2003@ David M All Right Reserved<br/><br/><b> </b>
