The Voice

Its in the voice behind your eyes that makes you realize.
That thought so clean and pure.
When viewed from all angles, still rings true.
It's that rare moment encapseald.
Have you been there, can you see it?
Don't be afraid, you need not hide, Its your power.
This force so benevolent is your knowledge, wisdom.
your ability to sort good from bad.
Relax, observe, then make a choice.
In existence, we can only change ourselves.
The notion that we can change others
there needs or desires outside ourselves, is preposterous.
An effort to do so would be like trying to bite your teeth.
Your finger trying to touch itself.
Or trying to lift your favorite armchair wile you sit in it.
Directly or indirectly, we are still all part of one another,
In our mortal existence, all we really have is ourselves.
Yet erroneously, we still depend on one another
to live out our lives as we know it.
