Guru Om

Guru Om by Kalika Fortin

If my heart could speak
it'd have no words
It might only weep
as your grace washes over me
and in your light, I can finally see
that I cause my own suffering
and I write my own soundtrack
and when I am lost like a fool
your light, it always guides me back. 

Om Guru Om...

Nine years out west
who am I?
I no longer know
I guess, they say that's progress
'cause in my youth, I was so damn sure.
But now, still can't let that anchor go
sometimes, I'm down here drowning
If I breathe then I finally start to float
and my walls, they start crumbling. 

Om Guru Om....

Each breath takes me deeper
to the place it gets sweeter
In that space there is harmony, clarity 
and the wish to be free
And you say, "Just takes practice"
I believe in the wings that you gave me 
and I'll soar up the mountain.

Om Guru Om...

I believe in you. 

​Om Guru Om...
