Look Within

The moon shines inside my soul

But my eyes are blind, I cannot see

The warmth of the sun, I cannot feel

But I know they both reside within me

 

The eternal drum beats in my heart

But my ears are deaf, I cannot hear

The universe sings its song to me

But I am lost in my own fear

 

When I let go of the I, the Mine

The work of the Lord is finally done

For in that surrender, I find peace

And the knowledge of the moon and sun

 

Like a flower that blooms for the fruit

I live for the purpose I cannot see

But when it comes, I will know

That the moon and sun were always inside me

 

Like the musk in the deer, I wander

Searching for something outside of me

But I must look within, and there I'll find

The moon and sun, the true beauty of mine. ("Look Within") by Courtney Weaver Jr.
