seekers prayer..

dear lord of all,
make me not sink into the dark...
for i have not lived as a saint or a mindful one
though i attempt it
i fail
i have died so many times and been reborn
and have been swept away into lands of fantasy and grasping
i have not wanted to go like this
but cannot find my moorings in this mind that roams
can i sit here dear light in the shining heart
and move not away from myself as truth
as i have journeyed so very far
and not yet tasted the ripe fruit
i have been caught in pressing desires within
and shifted away from the moment
blessed light
reveal the truth here inside as i am so weary
reveal the living waters of my heart that shines as a prince of peace,
undivided pure consciousness
and joy that is living
shine within and dissolve the seeds of sorrow,
clear these eyes of misperception
melt the feeling of separation
direct this mind towards the good and freedom
everlasting...
seal this heart to thine ..
so there is only stillness
joy and peace
shanti mind
