ENLIGHTENMENT

There is a Higher Consciousness I’ve tasted
And known from early days noetically,
Though most of my long lifetime has been wasted
On lower planes with lesser sights to see.

The ordinary world of stress and strife
That captures my attention and concern
Diminishes the luminance of life
Turning me from those lessons I must learn.

Until I can expand and raise my mind
To levels of awareness I sustain,
Exploring heights for which I am designed,
I’ll always stay unholy and insane,

For human health and wholesomeness depend
On brightness from our birth until our end.
