COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS II

    This consciousness that now takes residence
    Within my head, my heart, my mind, my soul,
    My being (if you will) must be immense,
    Connected fully to the Cosmic Whole.

    No matter how erroneously I roam,
    How wayward and bewildered is my course,
    An inward signal urges me toward home
    Until again I recognize our Source,

    For true and lasting happiness will come
    When once our consciousness has been attuned
    To resonate the universal AUM,
    For lack of which our souls will be marooned.

         The Cosmos is writ little in our being,
         A glimpse of which is ultimately freeing.
