I wanted to run away

I wanted to flee, to fight, to unmask,
enrich the ego, actually

The ego was everywhere,
hidden and yelling.

the quest for status
for power, influence,
a will for a quick way
the thirst for becoming

You came to get me,
In this distant land,
stranded on the strip of self-gratification
The world where, believing I was found,
I was terribly lost.

I see only the soft, warm light
you reveal the beauty of the world.
It’s not me who saves,
I can’t do anything,
I let it act through you.
