Impelled by the breath of an unknown Divine This sailor of a thousand seas Of life begins his charted course To find at last his soul's release.
In a new and finer ship he sails Seeking the land of his heart's desire, On an ocean of infinity Travels unsure of the inner fire.
Wave upon wave assaults his prow Breaking upon his fragile frame Lightning stabs his burdened breast, Direction lost as lost his aim.
Adrift on the seas of ignorance In the rudderless ship of reasoning mind, Captain of this bodily craft Trailing a wake of births behind.
Shipwrecked by the imperfect rhyme And reason of the ego's rule Run aground by incertitude Thought's faulty compass, finite tool.
Awash upon the shores of time The mental being founders here Wed to a faulty paradigm And the endless rivers of his fear.
He now must embark on a greater quest For Godhead calls his immortal soul To explore anew the unknown deeps Of godhead and the sacred goal.
