My Request

Eyes open, I am in heaven, present in being.

Heed inner voice.

Listen (rejoice), because my life is my heaven.

Learn today for tomorrow's bread.

I promise to forgive myself,

As I forgive others who hurt against me.

Inner strength resisting temptation,

Delivering me from regret.

My life is my dreamland,

and the one truth,

and the one love,

infinity, beyond.

Alive.
