UNIVERSAL POWER IS FREE

universal power is free

We twist and turn, trying to find out
which symphony has the most powerful bravado.
We slip, we slide into unconsciousness
…asleep at the driving force of Creation.

Momentarily gaining focus for a mere second,
then again we forget who we are
and fall into unconsciousness –

Swinging our swords at impossible fixations.
Fighting battles that never exist…
we crawl into the underworld of form.

Circling rapidly, we knock the essential breath from our lungs…
Revealing factions of unresolved issues that haunt us
in our relentless search for truth.

We play games with what we think will fulfill us.
Our passion and power misused.
Once again striking out at the false gods of illusion…
twice, three times, and more.

We don’t know to step aside and see that nothing is attacking us
except our own weapon of misunderstanding –
when taken so literally we cannot decipher these mental traps
set by our own defenses.

Universal Power is free. Its misuse is destruction,
but is essential to discover our misalignment –
A glorious answer to misconception.
