THE STRUGGLE WITHIN

A weighty question troubles my mind;

What, I ponder, could possibly be

The point and purpose of our existence?

 

At times I despair greatly at the seemingly

Complete absence of either point or purpose.

 

Dutifully, my wise and faithful muse chimes in;

\"Have you forgotten all of that I have given you ...

Clear insights into the \'what and why\' you ponder?\"

 

I am humbled.

 

\"Yes but, that is ... no.

It is not that I have forgotten,

It is simply that my oh-so-human mind

Slips in and out of esoteric comprehension,

Abandoning me to the mercy of an unrelenting ego,

Subjecting me to the vicious nature of the human experience.\"

 

I am left with naught but a desperate plea ...

Lord, help me cling to shards of my Higher Self, and

Endeavor to retain the greater wisdom of Soul\'s knowing!
