TO SERVE

With A Stilled Mind

TO SERVE

To serve with words is an easy task

When the tongue is unleashed and the world unmasked

But the greatest voice of all is that of the stilled mind

When light arises and bathes humankind

The soul laps up silence and peace reigns supreme

Those who serve with an elevated stage

Will calm all tears, fears and rage

To cast away the blame and bury the shame.

The soul will respond to be seen and redeemed

In purity of thought the mind will soar

And cause others to fly from the cottage of sorrow

To rejoice and embrace the happiness of tomorrow

Then when the volcanoes erupt, and the earth tremors rise

And man tries to destroy all from the darkening skies

Know that the deep silence within will loosen the ties

And take us in one moment to contentment divine

With the awakening soul-power of the purest mind.
