 Wake Up!

Drifting through time;
My thoughts running unleashed.
Wild, untamed, undisciplined;
I'm without control.
Thoughts triggering emotions;
Pain surging from my past.
Helpless, hopeless, without recourse;
But WAIT! Within this very moment
comes the power to break this curse.
Wake up, my soul; wake up, searching spirit;
A new moment dawns free from bondage.
Wake up!

Time dies within the moment;
The eternal preciousness is alive.
Falling away are the chains linking
 to my past; it's pain, it's memories.
Opening my eyes, I see the power of now.
A simple step, but why all the resistance?
Why does my mind desire this prison?
Seek presence, not the answers;
Enter through the gates of the moment.
Wake up, my soul; wake up, searching spirit;
A new moment dawns free from bondage.
Wake up!

Freedom enters within shards of the whole;
Open to this present moment.
Without judgment, without rules;
The now simply is.
Acceptance, surrender, walking in union;
Recognizing in my soul the presence
without a time line of past or future.
Welcoming in this peaceful tide
as it washes the shoreline of debris.
Wake up, my soul; wake up, searching spirit;
A new moment dawns free from bondage.
Wake up!
