On Problems And Fears Poem by Mike Barrett

On Problems And Fears



We
Have not
To run and hide
From our problems
Nor from our fears.

We
Have only
To recognize
That they can
Teach us much
About ourselves
And the things
We think important.

Next time
You think
That you have problems,
That you feel yourself afraid,
STOP.

CONTEMPLATE.

Get out of that box
Which you then find yourself in
And see from the highest perspective
How your mind
Has once again
Trapped your lower self.

Returning
To this lower self,
How can it rid itself
Of these problems -
These fears?

The answer
Is simple,
One word -

SURRENDER.

The surrendering
Of one’s highest self
To the IT IS,
To GOD -
Give IT
Your worries,
Your cares!

Life
Becomes so simple
Once this step is taken!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Those who truly love the 'IT IS', 'God', 'Allah', the 'Everything and Nothing' - whatever the name, know the truth of these words. I believe this was written in the late '90s.
