Desert Temptations

More about Desert Temptations

Desert temptations.
I went to the desert to be
inspired and meditate.
Great temptations awaits
me but I cannot hesitate.
My awakening is not
enough others have to
see the righteous way.
The devil will try to
seduce me and ask me to
stay.
Here it is paradise with all
its serenity.
You don't want the void
and it's dark eternity.
Enjoy the moon and sun
shine with all its details.
You don't want infinity where nothingness
prevails.
Nothing will hold me here,
not even becoming a king.
Continuous rebirth is a
painful thing.
My father enlightened my
soul and tought me how
to pray.
There are gentle souls awaiting eagerly my
return.
They asked me if I am
their savior, I didn't deny
nor confirm.
Stillness and silence is
their salvation and I
cannot sway.
Attachment to the self will
turn everyone into clay.
They have to realize that
earth is beautiful but is a
trap.
They will come here once
and should leave in a
snap.
Else they will roam this
land forever.
Liberation from suffering
will happen if they are clever.
I should teach them how
to stop all cravings.
Nothing is worth clinging
to, not even their savings.
They have already lost all
the battles they fought,
If they can't free the mind
from active thoughts.
With an open heart they can flood their world with
divine light.
With love to all, kindness
and compassion no more
wars to fight.
Banishing the self with
give your soul immense
might.
I will give them hope
during all those endless nights.
