Beyond the Boundaries

I give every moment
Of this life I’ve made to you
Take it, hold it, mould me
To the truth I am in you

I’ll no longer listen
To the obstacles I’ve made
Deep within the mind
That wanted only to betray

Open me with blessings
Or with scalpels, as you need
Take a wrecking ball
And smash apart the games I’ve played

Tear off masks of hopelessness
My folly and my woe
And bring me to the memory
Of the beauty that you sow

In the recognition
Of the heart that holds the prize
Waking in the centre
Of the mind ceasing to try

Lies the joyful mystery
That is finally opened wide
Clear to see, impeccable
In light within my mind

Here’s the burning passion
Of the one that cries to know
Anguished heart that rises far
Beyond its stories sown

Reaching past the quandary
Of the self it chose to be
Out into the universe
Of breathtaking simplicity

Out into the widest breadth of mind
That it can go
Taken far beyond itself
As now it seeks to know

All that it has hidden from
And all that it can be
Out beyond the boundaries
Of a faded, hopeless dream
