Power of Knowledge

The Power of Knowledge...
(My lessons learnt, My journey) 

Life a gift or not
A dispute with only one outcome,
The fact that we are here
To me the argument is done.

This life form of us
Has one specific difference,
Consciousness is a reality
Not caused through coincidence.

Questions, to question
Can sometimes complicate,
Answers when found
Makes awareness a profound state.

Interest is a grab of our attention
Awareness through recall, to treasure,
When all starts to weave its intrigue
Our minds will be changed forever.

Motivation now the energy to power
Is never allusive when pure,
Don’t have to hang on tight
This is a trip, self help to secure.

Motivation with momentum
Purpose the outcome of reason,
Looking forward to express
Will always result in creation.

Understanding, growing, a key
Now can identify with direction,
So easy to achieve arrangement
And experience self satisfaction.

Confidence now a force to reckon
Creating energy to power,
This wonderful strength to acknowledge
Can be called upon at any hour.

Self respect and peace of mind
What an incredible place to be,
These achievements through discipline
Came about by looking internally.

Goodwill now running high
First steps to understand love,
Need to learn to pace this knowledge,
This is mine, not coming from above.

Can’t deny this thing called love
How can something feel so good?
Yet, at times create much pain
If stay true, never hurt, never should.

How easy awareness can be
Tormented by love and lust,
Now learning control
To recapture peace of mind, a must.

Ego an enemy not to trust
Can manipulate by greed or thrill,
Discipline need again,
Has to be nurtured to form a skill.

Back to love to ponder longer
This believable feeling no mistake,
It is true to experience fully
No way, one can fake.

Fake the opposite to true
Love the example to show,
Ours not a tour to play
The feeling is undeniable to know.

Truth now so obvious
Took love to explain the reward,
Maybe some conflict soul-search too,
Now no need to question the accord.

From love, to truth, to peace,
Positive not negative to strife,
The self education of knowledge
Is the ultimate weapon, to preserve life.

Now to accept the Ultimate Truth
Some are partial but not pointless,
Many years spent in pursuit
But now know Knowledge is Limitless.
