Contemplation Plea

Oh God dear
	express through me
	who I am and am becoming to be
grow as vines grow
	up through rock
	through the crackling concrete of my false self
the ego pillars built stone by stone
	upholding all heaven would deny
now stone by stone I strain to remove
	that to Your love I be drawn nigh

Impossible as it may be
        to realize within my mind
 from false thoughts must my true self flee		
        if ever peace I am to find
		if ever joy I am to live
		if selfless love I am to give
	                and know, through me, only expressed,
	                Your will being manifest !
