I shall be an instrument of your will

god i shall rest my head in your arms

embrace me fully and lead me on my way

truly i shall walk your steps

as you set them out for me

there is nothing in myself

that shall resist your will

because there is nothing that can

when i looked for myself i found

that i am an empty shell

theres no me to be touched

theres only one to be imagined

and as i have searched across my skin

deep into my heart

the illusion,

the dream

has ceased

my decisions are as empty as my soul

they are permiated by one thing only

and that thing is your divine hand

that rules this world

that is this world

your will be done,

your will has never not been done

the insight of my emptiness means relaxation

it means non effort

surely i will struggle and suffer for much still

your will is not the will for me to be

a happy eggplant waiting to die

it means growth, pain and love

it means true engagement in this world

i have not managed to escape anything in this life

by resting my head in your arms

i have only managed to see my suffering in relaxation

as i watch you guide my feet i know that

i will end up excactly where you want me.
