there’s this inner urge to dive deeper
this drive inside to fill the empty hole
while clinging to the ways of old
and needing a mirror that sees my soul
I can’t understand the all the reasons
why life offers such delicious dreams
these temptations that never will fill the fantasy
til we are delivered to the truth to see
perhaps there is no escaping
what is aching in the inner Childs needs
and the healing needs to be taken seriously
so we return again to God
and ask for a little more mercy please
yet God can only give
what we are ready to receive
and sometimes it really seems
we have to be ready to get down on our knees
and ask for that real love we need
and we can try walk without crutches
and move out of our rut in which we’re stuck
and open the door to a new truth
to choose higher reality
when there’s nothing here left to lose
