Quiet my ego.Set me free. Help me to live one with thee
At this self-of-self of breath me
At this self of say of leave me
Beyond fragment's-broken love
Lasting love from God above
I can be at self and leave me
At the exhale
Breath-in love
I can be at self and lead me
At reflection Christ-found-love
Prince of peace
Rings peace within me
At the ripples' pondered love
As this self of self in-breath me
Neath the breast at heart that beats me
At the self of say and lead me
Breathing out I leave self-gov
Hold-me-love in God above
===========================
THE WAY
The way to be patient
Is to act patiently
The way to have guts
Is to be brave
There's no magic formula
For being what you want to be
Being what you want to see
Will set you free
Do you think you don't know where to begin?
"Jesus" is good say, with essence, "thought win"
And the Good of his mind
Heavy thought on the line
With what thought
If say
Came with God from 1st day
==================================
Not a Nightmare
Pounding fist on the table
"What's the matter with you?" (yell-themed)
With a passion and a fire
(Words were not
As they first seemed)
Not with anger
But in earnest desire
He then "sed",
"What the hell are you doing?
This could be something great, instead."
later......Staring in the mirror...
"You are great" eyes sed
Walking away
I repeated
The "werds" that smile led
I could field the words-that-burdened
To fuel the fire leading le_d
(As I walked "not down" thru hallway
toward the bedroom
toward the bed)
Success will come
combination
Heart and head
