A WISER WAY

I must enlarge and elevate my mind,
Expand my consciousness and seek to find
A new awareness for humanity
That wakens us at last to sanity.

So long we’ve lived endarkened in a cave
Illusioned by false shadows as we rave
And terrorize the little world we know,
Unable to transcend that state and grow.

I’ve glimpsed and tasted this new way of being,
A higher kind of knowing and of seeing,
But now’s the time to open to that view
Entirely—and bring the sight to you.

Some call this wiser way enlightenment,
While others simply say it’s heaven sent.
