'Higher
Powers'

We seek
to find
to reach
to attain
to transcend
to what we
think
is beyond

Forgetting
that the spirit
the source
the essence
of divinity
is within
us
and all
living things

We must
dwell within
to unlock
what was always there -
the peace
of being
a unique
individual
a part
of the whole
and yet
one
with all

We need not
transcend
to become
what we already are
