Listening Inside

Rev. Jeffrey Symynkywicz, May 6, 2001

There is inside these hearts of ours
an ancient wisdom
which can guide these souls of ours
to places we’ve never even dreamed about

If we listen deep inside,
see the signs,
feel the heat of the celestial fire
in our hearts,
read the golden letters
carved on the very walls of our beings.

Surface life is fine
for surface dwellers;
But spiritual beings yearn
to come back home.
The journey is not always so hard,
but to take it
one must make it;
one must decide to leave the surface behind.

Open the ears of the soul
and listen.
Open the eyes, too--
and that means turning off
the harsh, garish lights,
the incessant, meaningless noise,
if only for a little while.
It means turning off the lights,
and turning on to life,
and coming home
to the God inside again,
at last.
