again~

Another moment has come and gone

So many lessons were there to learn

And some of them I may have missed,

And here another moment comes anew.

Though I may cry for some guiding hand

To lead me out of the hindering pit,

Indeed I know I must stretch my hand

Out of the pit if I must get some help

Exhausted and crushed I may be now

Defeated and beaten down to earth

But only I can pick me up

To start again to make new strides

And in this fleeting days of illusion

I must stand for myself to live

And though I may have failed before

I will try some more, again and again,

To learn to overcome the lower self

And passions of the mind in life

Of anger, lust and vanity,

Of attachment and even greed,

With those true virtues of the mind

Of patience, and right sense to choose

Of humility, and detachment too,

Of contentment, the state of being

Though the path be strewn with thorns

And may be slippery at best at times

My Inner Guidance I still will trust

As I cry me a new beginning,

The Light of God will shine my way

The Sound of God will lead my path

Through the valley and shadow ways

I shall emerge again a better I...........
