YESTERDAY'S THOUGHTS
 
With yesterday’s thoughts 

of fear and control that 

traps the attention in negativity 

weaves the web of our own 

undoing and puts to sleep 

our creativity 
 
 

On the road to self-discovery 

we mold and refine the 

image of ourselves seeking 

enlightenment that maps the 

unknown pathway to new 

experiences of life and love 
 
 

In the circle of light 

we live and dance the ideals of  visions 

of tolerance and oneness 

revealing the many shapes and 

colors of the dancing deity
