" WALKING YOUR OWN PATH "

Don't have your own inner peace depend upon
What other men might say
For it is in the righteousness
Of walking your own path each day
In the humble awareness
That you're doing things your own way
Where the softest pillow
Upon which your hardened head might lay
Speaks to you of your generosity, which
You have imparted to others that day
And lulls you into the softest sleep
Where, what other men might say
Matter's Not! ~
For you have turned
All of the daily nonsense away
And for that, my fair-minded friend
Is where the truth of dreams does lay
And true genius
Comes into play
Through a sub-conscious parlay
And the Universal Mind
Does manifest,
In your,
Day-to-day.......
