The world is loud with riches piled high
Yet many are lost in the void of desire
Feasts may abound but they leave souls dry
Only the fire within can lift us higher
Storms and frost are fleeting disguise
True roots grow deep where no eye can surmise
The spirit a lamp with its soft steady light
Illuminates the path through the endless night
Material wealth is but a fleeting embrace
The spirit blooms roses in the silent space
A single resolve can rise from the ash
A soul fulfilled is the greatest flash
When time sweeps all to dust and decay
The heart remains warm guiding the way
Lifes purpose goes beyond fleeting ties
To light the flame that forever defies
