Trust is the container
Surrender is the stream
And so divinity may flow
Within this waking dream
Refinement is the pathway
Leading to the mountain peak
Intention keeps us on the path
Of which no words can speak
The stars provide a beacon
Reflecting back the glow
Creator light shines to and through us
Helping us to know
Tune into the current
The ocean of the one
Awaken to this present
The gift that god has sung
