The Hero's Journey

The Hero's Journey

The pain that ails man's heart
unforgiving, relentless
the self inflicted wound of ignorance
strike it will, the untamed mind

Spiraling down the dark abyss
the fear of control
the control of fear
vanquishing illusion with a switch in perception

The necessity of austerity
to climb the ladder of man
takes mindful grip on the rungs of compassion
ascending steps, shedding self

An inner journey to the sky's above
renewed eyes, renewed world
from the focal point of enlightened man
comes the ripples of exponential change
