A long time ago I started my quest
for peace through enlightenment.
Like a newborn child
hungry for mother’s milk,
my soul thirsted for the truth.

My first step was to remember
I held within the keys
which unlock those doors:
the door to freedom,
the door to peace,
the door to enlightenment,
the door to love.

My next step was to grasp
the concept I call keys; 
to open those doors one by one 
and gaze at the wonders within.
From this vantage point
it came to me
I had gained the ability 
to change outside reality
from within and from this 
simple perception
came creative force; a genie 
ready to grant my fondest wish

(I still have to rub the lamp!)
