SURFEIT

  Let me take myself away from artificiality, in search of truth. Let me take myself away from unequal competition, from deceit and ego. Let me take myself along the mellow paths of the village; let me take myself to the evergreen garden where simplicity and purity play. Let me lose myself in this very simplicity and purity.

 Journey Within I will journey with myself through a hundred years, Whispering to my soul the lonesome songs of the midnight stars. I will show myself the last glow of the fading sun, And let my heart listen to the murmur of the restless river. I will walk with myself to the courtyard of silent graves— Where silence and solitude dwell as ancient friends. To be reborn in this new world, I will seek the embrace of spirituality, Break the chains of material desire, And sail into the endless season of stillness— There, to receive the message of eternal peace.
