Living the dream

The sun gives light
so the whole world will see
as for the shadow follows us behind
sages give words of wisdom
for all of humanity to be free
with faith we nurture the seeds
that will cause it to grow
with intelligence we seek knowledge
to create what we will come to know

we are always in the company with the infinite
the stars in heaven never fall asleep
they continue to merge their thoughts
that flows through the mind
the waves in the ocean never cease
that we can recognize Godliness
and to remain pure
trials and tribulations
will always keep us engaged
that we will have the patience to endure

the layers of clouds will pass above
for the vessels in our mind will have rain
that we must not be trapped
by illusion and from temptation
we must refrain
the fountain of happiness
will continue to flow
and glitter like pearls in the stream
we are fortunate to be creators
of own destiny
by living the dream

as seasons change nature teaches us
to adapt patterns of habits to follow
as magnets we are attracted to the sun
there should be no reason for us to live in sorrow
happiness is in living and giving
to the world the knowledge we learn
Mother Earth has unconditional love
equal to the sun for all to reap
the reward in return
