A presence, an aura where all bowed
Light and darkness hugged, kissed each other
All pay homage as to shine in eternal brightness
In motions, display before unseen eyes to behold
Elments align themselves in matter of approval
Nothing's hidden from view, naked we are
We recognized we were made for this
Paying obeisance to none but One
Many sacrificed all on the altar of wealth and fame
The latter known by another name
Vainly, we long in emptiness, for what we were made
In hope to be elevated, even be admired
Is this we seek after to become a god
In life we were favored for it, in death we coveted it
Made in image for it, we are at our best when we surrender
We are at our worst when we struggle after it
All around, sounds of animate, even inanimate, greet our ears, testifying
If we don't acknowledge in the sounds of our beating heart
The rocks will cry out as they did, when with tears; poured out in water
Would thirsty, rebellious, wilderness sojourners drink?
Oh foolish, vain hearts, in deception we desire it, even as we turn from our source
The issue at the heart of all matter of flesh and of spirit
In vain we pursue it, only to lack what we desperately need
As was our first breath, our very first act was to just do it
