Ascension
Trials and serenity in the tides of mere being
In following one’s path to a higher mode of seeing
Finding one’s nature amidst the many
As resting on this reassurance is in itself heartening
Far from the days that have lead to calamity
Even if its mere moments in infinity
I gaze in wonder from the seat of my soul
As the world unfolds in all of its lucidity
Where there was once an escape to distraction
Now lays a sense of abiding to strong action
To look forward not to a world of illusion
But one bound to reality, a scene of inclusion
Where the one find himself in the all
And the all in the one
