To Find Our Way Back - A Poem
This one is for my teachers This one is for their love The ever present guidance Of those who have walked before
Helping me to navigate Helping me to see That yes, all I am looking for May truly rest in me
I know it's currently fashionable To deny our need for you That you are your own teacher You are your own Guru
If nothing, life has taught me Of its humorous paradox I need those who have gone before To help me see what I am not
This one is for my teachers Who bring tears into my eyes When I feel their love surround me Taking my heart quite by surprise
This one is for the Guru's Those who have gone before We have always needed them To show the way To help us see that there is more
I only wish I'd known you sooner To steady a young man's pace Then that one kiss that led me to One thousand ways to kiss your face
In your company I have tasted sweetness Lay in tears upon your lap You have shown me what I'd forgotten That my heart always held the map
This one is for the teachers Who have helped to clear this track To all who have gone before us To help us find our way back.
