My mind is trapping me
These emotions are sapping me
These energies are tapping me
Just want my happy me
A direct desire for stillness
The quiet simple place
The more I try to will this
The faster it escapes
Perhaps I need to let go
Of trying to control
My life and circumstances
Have trust in taking chances
Become a leaf upon a stream
Ride the natural flow
Like when you're in a dream
Allow my world to grow
Blossom like a flower
Open up like the sky
There is such a power
In letting yourself run dry
An empty well
An empty shell
Can be a clear space
For me to replace
Stale water with fresh raindrops
Stagnant judgments with fluid thoughts
Freedom from the sludge in me
That feels like constant drudgery
That clogs up my machinery
And stifles the Being I Be
Sometimes I want to crack open my head
Shake out all the dust and cobwebs
Old thoughts, old patterns
Ripe for disposal
Go from narrow to wide
Open up a new portal
Fill in the divide
Between God-Force and mortal
Integration of all
Be the sum of my total
