The following is from the 151 writings on love, intimacy and the path to inner peace from David's book, Phoenix Soul: One Man's Search for Love & Inner Peace © 1998 David Essel

Can I Rise Above?

Without my awareness
I'm sinking again
Surrounded by darkness
Unsure of my path
From one love to another
From one distraction and back
I'm clouded in my perspective
Living a life filled with lack
I've begged for guidance
Asking help from above
A teacher or a lover
To bring me back to my greatness
Why do I have to repeat this lesson
Over and over again
Not sure if I'm getting ahead
Feeling drained by my own frustration
My head is barely above water
Looking for a hand to help
To pull me back to sanity
To show me the way to love
Fearful of opening up
Fearful of being alone
Am I the only one who feels this?
With such regularity it's sickening
God, stop this punishment
I want to rise above
To feel all I am
      To be open to love
