I came into this world

I came into this world formless Surrounded by petrified consciousness Invisible signals surveyed the terrain Relaying precious messages which formed my brain I formed in the shape of a naked ape And found solace in love, the golden escape With water & Earth as my teacher & guide I found the place which many denied I learned those lessons, I paid many dues And I've bent on my knees & worshipped in pews What remains strongest is silence & faith Which progresses mankind to the pearly gates Humility & prudence are virtues divine They straighten out tangles & cure the spine Passion & conviction are acts of the soul Whose measures proclaim a more sacred goal Mercy & grace both naturally derive From a person aligned with nature's drive
