The Heart's Compass

Art by Robert Cornelius on Flickr

May our hearts be free of fear,
As we wade through the darkness,
The conviction of love illuminates the way,
While the truth is always here,

Evil has many faces and realms,
Except the compass of the heart,
For there it cannot permeate the truth,
That navigates a ships helm

To pass safely on a voyage,
Through the greatest of storms
The world has ever seen,
We must let go of rage,
In response to the injustices

We will not discover new realities,
If we cling onto this one,
We will never know a new golden age,
Until we awaken to see the lies spun.
