STOP

By Simon J. E. Drew

Stop, take a look around,
Tell me what your life has now become.

Then, turn thy search within,
Tell me where thy soul has been. 

Stop, think about this view,
Tell me what it shows thee thou shouldst do.

Then, rise and be thou clean, 
Let me now reveal a brighter scene. 

Fertile plains and grapes upon the vine, 
Fig trees in the Universal Mind,
Journey to the distant hills,
Watch as God, through thee, fulfils

His greater cosmic plan,
Now beginning with the end in mind.

Sink, deep into this sea,
Rest upon the branches of eternity.

All of my writings, explorations, music, and poetry compliment each other, and as such, it is highly recommended that the reader/listener engage first with my foundational works: Pairidaēza Suite and The Poet & The Sage. The hardcover version of The Poet & The Sage offers an excellent window into my mind and soul, and will enable a much richer experience for those who engage with all of my future works.​
