Sometimes fear invades
Imprisoning all thought
Heedless of time
Or the anguish that is wrought
A twisting inside
Controlling the breath
Confused and afraid
Reason's death
Caged by an enemy
In solitary confinement
Focusing on self
No soul’s refinement
Then just before despair
Ensnares the soul
A door of light opens
And you surrender control
The fear bleeds away
Burns in His fire
The spark of love ignites
Connection your desire
You realize that your fear
Was a lack of faith in Him
For in releasing the need to control
You’re set free from the self’s prison
"When one is released from the prison of self, that is indeed freedom! For self is the greatest prison."
