Swimming in the waters of consciousness
I seem to have lost direction
Holding on to a concept of Dharma
I follow the paths that appear
Married to the necessities of life
I try to stay Awake
The mind holds me prisoner sometimes
Only to enlarge my misery
Am I to laugh at this world
Or am I to cry for fate
Do I live life to discover
What paths will open up for me
I have my wants and fantasies
I cannot deny these thoughts
I want to be happy with one and all
Even though I 'know' I am Mirth in totality
Give me the strength to open up
Paths that seem to be hidden
Give me the hope and knowledge
To carry on the work of my destiny
Let me laugh and cry and hold
My wants and necessities
And be unattached to anything
At all times and places in this conscious fantasy
I Hold your thought and presence
In brief spells of clarity
Only to be shrouded by the problems
That haunt my faulty sensitivity
Let me talk and dance and cry
Along with the moods of the worldly
And hold thoughts at all times
Of the Truth that envelops all entirety
