Out of the smoke and heat
Comes a quickening of my spirit

In commune with the Maker as one
Learning from the Great Teacher

The value of life, of love, of earth
The beauty that surrounds me daily

Looking for the peace that only comes from within
Ever leading me onward to the great beyond

The strengthening of my spirit
That with eagle's wings may fly

To soar above the horizon
To mate with the stars on high

With a knowledge no tongue can tell
An open book with words written by the Master

Sharing this space, this universe
My fellow beings connecting

The time passes swiftly
Carrying me ever onward

As my stride lengthens
The journey shortens

Fading in my memories
The trials and tribulations

Only His peace remains
Cradling me gently in His Arms

His presence overwhelming
All consuming filling the emptiness

Eyes opening to behold
What was once hidden

The Awakening from within
No longer a dream, but reality
