Analysis of Back To Thee
Let me take you on a journey,
to a place inside yourself
Not the body mind connection,
but true consciousness itself
Before you walk a darkened space,
a light must first go on
Not tasked with anything other than,
an awareness set upon
Your eyes look out, true vision in,
the stuff of what you’re made
Before the questions were unleashed,
one answer left unblamed
So close your eyes and close your mind,
and set your spirit free
The path aglow from whence you came
—that leads you back to thee
(Dreamsleep: June, 2019)
