It starts from inside,
I am often told,
try hard to control
the space that you hold.
Dig deep from inside,
to release all cares,
becoming aware
of everything there.
Change happens inside,
perceptions transform,
cradle all ice storms,
turn cold into warm.
Balance from inside,
removing extremes,
extracting old scenes,
then sewing the seams.
Feel free from inside,
let all the bad go,
your pure smile will glow
all joys will then grow.
Find strength deep inside,
grab hold of pure light,
all day and all night
it always shines bright.
