In silence, I sit,
seeking significant moments
of awakened realizations.
It’s divine to be alone,
to celebrate a coming home —
a delectable return to self-awareness.
to celebrate a coming home —
a delectable return to self-awareness.
Before me lies the world,
in all its burning glory.
My heart is heavy with acceptance
of the failed human story.
in all its burning glory.
My heart is heavy with acceptance
of the failed human story.
My hands bleed.
I am guilty of mindless capitalism,
trapped in nihilism,
reaching for answers in the status quo.

In silence, I sit,
seeking ego validation,
wanting my solitary actions
to have meaningful intention.
seeking ego validation,
wanting my solitary actions
to have meaningful intention.
Going within,
I spin into anticipated potential
and own personal responsibility
for choices I have made.
I spin into anticipated potential
and own personal responsibility
for choices I have made.
Perception changes
when I climb out of stagnation,
release ego,
and move to focused action.

release ego,
and move to focused action.
I sit in silence
and contemplate my words and my power.
I reclaim my feminine and ask Earth Mother,
What can I do today?
and contemplate my words and my power.
I reclaim my feminine and ask Earth Mother,
What can I do today?
