The Key To Understanding
Leslie Asbury-Harris c. 1998

Yearning, struggling, reaching,
To fill the empty void
To find a way-- any way
To transcend, overcome.

The ways of the East
Can teach one so much
To reach up, reach out
To meet the higher self.

Cosmic consciousness
To try to feel the Prana
Energizing the body
And setting the mind free.

Flying high, spirit soaring
Touching the Infinite
And bringing it home.

To be at peace with oneself
To be in touch from within
And not from without.

To study and learn
Contemplate, meditate--
These are the keys to joy,
Wisdom, peace, and discovery.
