Finding Shangri-La

Inner peace and love discovered during morning meditations.

Finding Shangri-La

In morning meditation, when everything is still

Softly speaks the silence, reciting from the will

Subtle whispers from within, we hear the message clear

Of mercy, and forgiveness, and freedom from all fear

It speaks of things forgotten, of treasures locked away

The holy words of wisdom, concealed from light of day

Of Love, Joy, and Peace for all, the Spirit's legacy

The gift of life eternal, preserved for you and me

Magically a hidden path, appears before our eyes

Leading high above the clouds, where misty peaks arise

Swiftly now we move along, devoted on our way

Coming to a sacred lake, we pause and kneel to pray

High upon the mountain now, we feel the mystic breeze

Surrendering to heaven, we get up off our knees

Ending need to beg and plead, resigned forever more

We perceive a wonderous land, beyond a golden door

Sounds of laughter fill the air, as we adventure through

We join the celebration, the world is born anew

Here at last the sacred land, eternal, ancient, new

Envisioned by the many, accomplished by the few

With grateful hearts and joyful, the grueling journey past

We settle in together with Peace, and Love, at last...
