Inner Song

Merge into me,
I take on the path
of misery,
I take on the path
of craving,
all my self mingling
to join the reckless waters.

Wash into me, over me,
beneath me;
blend my emotions away.

Can I make myself
a pool of reflection?
a soul of thought?
a glaze of knowledge?

Whirl around me
a cloth of purpose;
give me some words to drink.
You speak with many voices,
their accents like long arms
grabbing me.

I don't smell a scent of ending,
I'm under this tree alone;
I don't feel any peace washing over me
with a cooling, whisper of conclusion.

Come find me before I drown,
pull me up and sing to me.
I desire a chant to pray,
nothing means anything to me.

(Om)
Silence frees my ears,
I await a sign.
(Om)
Deafen my ears
so I can hear better.
Om
That word--that phrase
of eternity,
it rises above my life.
That feeling--that echo
of cycling,
always a trademark to each day.

Could it be?
Is that what I should hear?
I will repeat it;
I will cry it,
oh thank you; at last.
Back home!
