I keep waiting for someone to speak up
Then I remember I am someone
And my words have meaning
In the great seeming
I may have stolen the first two lines
From a meme somewhere in the back of my mind
It is not all dark relief
Somewhere beyond the belief
There is a realm of calm
And there is no alarm
That can sound the bell of war
You are safe within and I adore
The foot of the mountain I’ve been led to
I will follow Arunachala and you
Can find me there
It’s silent here but I still care
And reverberate
My inner state
So that pain
And rain
May fall like leaves
Adjacent to the one who sees
The submergence of all form
And fire is warm
But it can’t burn the soul
And as we grow old
We seek the storm
What is the reason you were born?
