A Poem from AWAKE founder Erik

- Fleeting Stillness - 
Do Words Matter?
Our Feelings Strong 
Words Weak
These Marks Fleeting

Gone Tomorrow 
Like Ash 
Blown From Fire
So Much Light – Most Unseen 

To Die With Our Song Unsung?
Our Fire Bright
Perfect Expression Fleeting
Blurred By Confusion of Self

Trying in Place of Being
In One Way Nothing Matters
In Another Everything Does
Talking Instead of Listening
Moving In Place of Stillness

Ego Expression Pointless
Exhausted from the Chase
Into a Cave an Escape
To Not Express - a Life Unlived?

Not Able to Hear God
Although She Always Speaks
Busyness Silencing Her Voice
Ego Confused With Her Expression

Stop And Listen
Can You Hear?
Beyond Ego She Speaks
Can You Feel Her Beauty?

Can We Be a Vessel?
Can we Calm the Noise?
Roiling in our Head
Violently Crushing Her Voice

Oh, This Ego!
Won’t You Die?
Longing for Freedom From Your Cries
Praying to Hear and Express Her 
In That Fleeting Stillness
All Answers Found

Why So Lost in the Noise?
God Reveal Yourself to Me
​
And In that Sweet Moment
In Between the Thoughts
In the Silence of Her
We Are Found
