From the Depths

By Austin Mao · April 30, 2023

From the very depths
Of a place where I disbelieved
The Truth within me
I found the courage to be
I found the voice of spirituality

A fierceness, a passion
For my existence, for my being
From the very depths
Of a spiritual emergency
I found the voice of Truth within me

I found this love
I found my soul’s song
I found my willingness to live
My life to its fullest
I found my courage to belong

I feel so much gratitude
I know what it means to Know
I feel the love inside me
In the whispers of my soul
I know what it means to surrender
I know what it means to be still
I know now what it means to allow
To have faith. To feel.

To be good, to be kind
To know what I know
And devote my life
All that I say
All that I will be
Every moment of every day
I give my life to spirituality

The pursuit of Truth
The energy of creativity
The endless depths of essence
The exploration of impossibility

From the very depths
Of non-existence
I found a boundless energy
From the very depths of
Tiredness and lack of sleep
I found the courage to be alive
I found my joy, my gratitude
I found my life

I am the voice of God within me.
My words echoes through the centuries
I am the captain. I am the ship. I am the sea
I am the storyteller of this great Mystery.
I am the weaver, I am the thread.
I am this tapestry.
I am Spirit at the gates of eternity
