Are you a slave to routine?

Or a slave to your mind?

Or a slave to the fears

That now riddle mankind?

Those invisible shackles

Are locked only by thought

Fictitious, limiting beliefs

Of which many are taught

Surrender takes courage

A lengthening of stride

A desire to be better

To encompass, not divide

Are you only counting days

Of a life, to get through?

Anxiety pandemic

Acquiring more, a virtue

Wake up from your sleep!

Seize the present; it’s a gift

Know you are utterly, perfect

Then start to heal your own rift
