How long have you been looking
how often have you tried
has the call for something even more
ever tickled you inside?

Has everything you’ve gotten
and all that has gone by
ever touched you in your deepest self
are you really satisfied?

Have by chance you ever noticed
how nothing ever stays the same
have you not begun to question
why you play the same ‘ol game?

While you’re living life so busy
when at home, at work or play
have you ever sensed the emptiness
and in fear you looked away?

Or by chance are you so lucky
that by grace you’ve heard the call
of the ever present longing
that’s the luckiest day of all!

Just in case you never heard this
for it’s not what most would say
it is longing that’s the surest sign
that your true self’s on its way.

Now I know you won’t believe this
for the masses never do
there’s nothing to be fixed or changed
for you to reach this self so true.

So please listen very closely
there’s a secret here for you
true happiness you’ll surely find
when you welcome all that’s you.
