the world in me

My world is the world within me

where all dwell in peace and love.

Where the nightingale's song of desire

wafts through our dreams,

where we are awakened to live those dreams

by the birds of the morning,

where I behold

fields of rich harvest,

green growing forests,

the deer and rabbit treading in safety,

and where cool streams caress our toes.

Here, we know we are citizens

of untold universes,

and we venture forth into them

seeking and experiencing

like the heroes we are.

I am the singer and the song

of this vision,

I am the seeker and the sought,

I am the change I want to see,

I am the world inside of me.
