The Spirit

 

I refuse to wear or own labels

I belong to no associations, clubs or groups

I shun all religious institutions

I flee in fear from political parties

No one will claim my soul

I am unattached, I am free

Yet a spirit moves within me

directing heart and mind toward goodness

 

 

I often leave the path of the spirit to my peril

The spirit beckons me forward

speaking of truth, justice and love

The spirit does not own me, nor I own it

The spirit can be ignored or rejected

but its acceptance brings a peace

putting all about us into a true perspective
