THE STAIRS OF LIFE

I'm climbing up the "Stairs of Life",
Trying to reach, a "higher self"!
So I can deal, with toxic emotions,
With Spirit....not Ego....on the top shelf!
I've shed my need, for control or approval,
These are due, to Selfishness, Jealousy and Fear,
I can use the "Mirror of Relationships",
That reflects all, that I see and hear!
I'll aim to be like those I admire,
And learn, from the ugly scenes!
Liking....or hating....what others do,
Tells me what all of life means!
Not just in them...but, in ME, too,
I must be aware, of what I do!
I am a collection, of Universal Treasures,
That vibrate, with a multitude, of natural pleasures,
Flowers, rainbows, sunsets to surprise!
And God, who appears, in a kind, human's eyes!
Or, a drop of dew, on a blade of grass,
A gentle breeze....as I slowly pass!
My world is in me....such accumulations!
Of everything observed, in God's wondrous creations!
I'm filled, with ecstasy, joy and love...to make me glad,
Some special....some not...that make me so sad!
Some anger, some tears, some laughter and songs,
I am a part, of all the "rights" and the "wrongs"!
Like strange disguises, my thoughts can change me,
Into something "dark"....and a shadow I'll be!
I'll replace these, with Love and Gentle Grace,
Knowing myself, I can change my own face!
I'm not in the world....the whole world is in me!!
Not exactly like you....this could never be!
I'm just a collection, of each sight and sound,
People I've met and books, that I've found!
Experiences, that can often hurt....or heal!
Millions and millions, of thoughts that I feel!
And between each thought,when I'm so very still,
God is present.....always whispering HIS WILL!
My desires are like seeds, waiting to grow,
If I'm quiet and aware, He'll truly show,
How to get "in tune" with my Spirit now,
I am delighted, that I can learn how!
I don't have to worry, work....or seek!
When I'm very still, God allows me to peek!
Just a small glimpse, at His Holy Plan,
Not always available, to maid and man!
Due to the hustle, bustle and constant noise,
That humans make, while man employs,
Conditions and measures, to let him suceed,
If he knew God, there'd be no need!
I fail, when I try to set it right,
God must smile....as I work day and night!
When I finally give up and take a rest,
HE solves it quickly.....free from PAINFUL TEST!
