A SOLITARY SOUL IN THE SCHOOL OF LIFE— STRUGGLING TO RISE UP AND REMEMBER WHO I REALLY AM Late at night, after the moon Has set, almost to the edge of dawn, I awaken from playful dreams Of lost loves and happy situations To find myself, as always, Struggling to rise up and Remember who I really am. On the ragged edge of exhaustion, Pushing far beyond all natural limits, Riding the very tip of a huge wave Rushing towards the secret sacred shore Where I know myself to be A spark of God set adrift As a solitary soul in the School of life, struggling today And everyday to rise up and Remember who I really am. My soul is ever in communion With my own inner sweet Divine, Even when I think I am just a worm, My own spirit wings are slowly, Slowly unfolding so that I Will soar high and free In the light of the coming dawn, As I struggle to rise up and Remember who I really am. I know far, far more than My ordinary mind perceives— For it is the soul’s greatest boon To be ever connected with My own heart’s inner Beloved, Who whispers, who sings, who is Ever calling, calling me to Soar up into the freedom That is my life’s loving destiny— When I rise up and rise again and Remember who I really am.
