Oh dear soul what has thou become?

Oh dear Soul what has thou become?
Clouded by a thousand thoughts,
Misled by a thousand desires,
Lost in the carnival of life,

Oh dear Soul what has thou become?

Why hold on to false riches that only drown you in sorrows?

Why do you walk into a prison of your own making and throw away the key?

A slave of the passions,
A case of mistaken ego identity,
A king or queen by right, living as a pauper by choice,

Claim what is yours, why waste another moment?
Drop the facade of the ego,
Embrace yourself as a drop of the divine,
Reflect on the emptiness of thoughts, emotions and impressions,
Turn your high beams of awareness on the thieves in your life,
Let their powers over you fade away,

Oh dear Soul, remember
Oh dear Soul, please remember what you once were
Oh dear Soul, please remember, remember, remember... .. .

Peace,
