The Pathway

Gunnar



Ask me why I sense no eny if another posesses better than me
I will answer I do not know

 

Ask me why sense no annoyance if another contends with me
I will answer I do not know

 

Ask me why I sense no infuriation if another inconveniences me
I will answer I do not know

 

Ask me why I sense no indignity if another thieves from me
I will answer I do not know

 

Ask me why I sense no fright if another intimidates me
I will answer I do not know

 

Ask me why I sense no despair if another betrays me
I will answer I do not know

 

Ask me why this is so and I will enlighten you
My return is as unembellished as it is achievable
For though I need not endure discouragements that erode
There are pathways I follow in loyalty to myself

 

I am the king of my heart
I am the master of my responses
I am the ruler of my reasoning
I am the captain of my existence

 

So as I traverse this confusing awareness called life I have been bequeathed
I must surely make most of the purity this gift generously offers to my soul 
A heavenly kingdom of inner peace and tranquility I readily take for myself
And through eternity I will humbly embrace all who would share light with me
