Awareness

From out the shadows of our past mistakes
From out the dimness of our former gloom
Now comes the light celestial it takes
To give compassionate existence room

Room in our hearts, in each relationship,
For every stranger, every lover, friend,
Given not only by the slipping lip
But by our actions also to that end

We go scattering seeds of honesty,
The genuineness of each deepest heart,
In uncompromised authenticity
Each moment, new life nurture, new life start

What key be to this ecstasy, forsooth?
What do you know? ‘Twere but the honest Truth!
