*******
Transcend
Pushed through pain
We are born
In a world shattered by chaos
We choke on the acid
Of toxic society
burning through
Our inner being dissolves
Too young
I grabbed the ears
Of the lion
and fought
to keep its jaws
Off my face
Dodging death
Again
Sometime
Next time
Won’t come
To us
The ego lies
While destiny hides
I wonder who
Where and why
Am I
Crawling in the dark
I beg the stars
to shine on me
With Infinite Compassion
I finally see
We are all
Boundless in spirit
Different currents
In the same river
Together we flow
To the sea
All our joy
All our pain
One day
We leave it behind
This precious gift
Of life
Is love
To give
Away
