Commander-in-Chief

In this world of mystery
Look into your heart to see
The miracle that we be
What’s true and what’s fantasy
I sit back and watch the sun
Rise above the distant trees
Light rays have now just begun
To warm flowers and wake bees
Earth’s garden is bountiful
On its own so beautiful
From this we all have appeared
Her sacredness we have smeared
Through our love we can return
To stop the fires and the burn
That consume us from within
With true kindness we can win
A bright day is here for all
Who stop and answer the call
For our time on Earth is brief
Best to let go of your grief
That’s tied to your own belief
That blocks you from your relief
You are Commander-in-Chief

Of repeat patterns beware
Bad habits that suck the air
And drag us into their lair
Where pain is the only fare
Woke up into a new way
To relate, engage and play
Your actions will then display
Loving-kindness thus convey
For each and all let them be
Whether or not you agree
Unless they inflict their pain
And to others are a bane
Your true self do not forget
Lest you be caught in the net
Of self-imposed suffering
Blindness that is smothering
It’s up to you my dear friend
To surrender and transcend
Into love you can ascend
If your beliefs you suspend
Release fears and comprehend
You are clear light in the end
Loving-kindness to all send
