Getting Back to My Purpose

I'm getting back to my purpose, I'm getting back on track. 

I'm recognizing distractions for what they are; 

nothing but my fear of the good,  

the beautiful and the loving I came here to do. 

Time to come clean, reach deep and look at what I fear. 

It's time to see through the addiction and compulsions  

that keep me from bringing joy to others, 

and returning to my first-love, 

as bringer of love into this loveless place. 

In other words, it's time to get back to work;  

the work I came here to do- 

the work of communication with those who can hear the truth of love,  

as it naturally comes through me. 

All I use to distract me from my real Work, 

has only passing value,  

But a very high cost to me, and to everyone around me. 

Teacher of Peace in me,  

I give you all my distractions and addiction to passing pleasures  

that rob me of my only lasting joy- 

The joy of bringing the peace of God into this world of sorrows.
