Soul: Purification & Transformation

The cards lay strewn on the ground
They say you have to play the cards you’re dealt
The cards were Purification & Transformation
A sense of overwhelming oneness felt

A journey embarked on not too long ago
Robed in purification, encompassing transformation
A reciprocal process and a wide broad path
The change experienced with a cleansing sensation

Few steps had been taken along that path
When a stone was placed on the right hand
Few understood the why including me
But I knew the time had come to take a stand

If you know of a different path
Where nature and man are united and agreed
If you have access to the tools and resources
Should you not tie up your camel and mount your steed?

Do you lead or do you follow?
Many will contend and some may align
Do you rise or do you fall?
Guidance may not always appear on an ensign

It is from within that the flame shines bright
The images are viewed and embraced
Encouraging and inspiring
Change comes with quite a haste
