Where are you headed?
Where are you headed in the midst of this chaos;
The chaos of your own soul?
Where will you go when there is nowhere to go
Other than the path which makes you whole?
Will you still go?
Will you still go?
When all that you know stands as a barrier between you and your Beloved?
Indeed it is time,
Surely, it is time,
To let it all go,
To finally go where we must go,
And leave our ego behind.
