Before it’s over

Looking for me

Excuse me I’m looking for the exit

This universal play is getting me down

I’m no longer content with lessor illusions

I’ve accumulated too many wandering around

in these endless playing fields while here

playgrounds saturated with unimaginative

extremes both ugly and beautiful

Yes, I’m looking for the door to escape the lunacy

from this mortal labyrinth where things come and go

without ever participating in purity, eternity or perfect love

It’s always too much and yet never enough

I want to Walk away from this ancient path of servitude

Into the light of liberation and ultimate service

before it’s over, I know there’s more to it than this

The mystery of being able to transcend is my latest quest

I want to discover my true nature - my natural state

of promised radiant bliss I need to know what it is I truly desire

Indeed to break that subtle skin that holds me tight to

the Hellish confinement of body and mind

I want to wake up to a greater love

than I could ever imagine

I want to wake up to who I AM
