Don’t Fight Me

by Bhakta M.A. Payne

The soul is ever present

Be firm, be still, be strong.

The mind will wander with the wind

Like leaves blown asunder

As destructive as thunder.

Thunder that announces lightening

Yes, I know this is frightening.

…Yet he says…

…..Don’t fight Me…..

The pleasures of maya present themselves nicely

And falsely stimulate

Oh…yes, they are exciting

Until the mind starts tightening

And the heart grows icy

The Lord says you go through this

Because you are fighting…so please

…..Don’t fight Me…..

In our hearts he resides

With lotus, disc, conch and club

Always at our sides.

The dividing line

He is whom one should always hold

For our place is to be connected in His abode

This is why he sings in our hearts saying

…….Please…….

….Don’t fight Me…..
