Authenticity

Soul is authentic

Fleshself facade

Ego blind centric

Persona fraud

Speech can be fiction

Actions charade

Emotions moody

Thoughts clearly flawed

Desire is naked

Volition true

Motive revealing

Heart--the real you

Evolving Expertise

There is a runged progression to becoming

The Novice must apprentice for a time

And learn under the invisible Master

Ever faithful--ever present with the mind

One must develop expertise of empathy

One must quell human ego in its pride

One must uncover universal unity

One must explore awareness from inside

One must acquire benevolent balance

One must awaken love within the heart

One must cultivate pure selfless volition

To master the aesthetics of soul art

Interior Design

We aren’t creatures of circumstance

Nor steered by course in life

We’re not spawned by our choices

Nor action circumscribed

We aren’t built by emotions

Nor do thoughts seal our plight

‘Tis motive which precedes them all

And issues forth its type

To change the world, we change ourselves

And inner soul refine

By understanding nature

Of interior design

Desires of the heart will bud

Into the realm of thought

Then converge in emotions

Which will fuel the actions wrought

Which coalesce in choices

Then converge into life course

As circumstance congeals

Into our joy or our remorse

Composition

The aesthetics of the soul involve

Spiritual composition

Of unity, perspective

And of balanced, shaped volition

For motive of the heart reveals

The truth of what we are

While balance requires wisdom

And an eye to see afar

And empathy adds depth

To the perspective of the Self

While unity enjoins it all

In universal wealth

By these we craft our masterpiece

Authentic and unique

We seek Divine approval

Yet we’re judged through Self-critique
