Awakening the spirit in you
This is not a manual of anatomy
Or a dissection of the toughest ligament
This is an ardent pledge of unconditional Love
I am holding this candle of light today
Hoping that you will open your heart
To the most beautiful lesson
It is not a cartridge of words
That will awaken your spirit
It is not even an enchantment
Or a chalice of magical spells
That will unlock the way
The key to awakening the spirit
Is found deep within you
It is only the unbuttoned heart
That will allow the light through
The spirit is the key, the door and the way
Let it stir and turn
Let it feel the warmth
Let it listen to the delight of poetry
Let it be amused by the sacred words
Let it hold the breath of life
Let it taste freedom
Then you will see
The miracle will happen
Death and life will meet
And the everlasting life will be revealed
This is the awakening of the spirit
To hold the breath of the everlasting life
To be a dreamer inside the dream
To be enchanted inside the cubicle of being
