Nightingale's Song

Does not the nightingale's sweet song set our hearts alight

Bestowing his kiss of solace upon the solitude of the night

 

He doesn't sing; the vastitude of the ebony veil belongs to me

Nor does he sing of possessing the verdure of the old oak tree

 

Maybe he sings to ignite the flame of passion within her breast

His song doesn't fade with age or the onset of death

How can words touch upon the euphony of love's serenade

The perfection of God's Creation is experienced, rather than portrayed

Thus unto the song of the nightingale, my heart humbly prayed...

 

Out of compassion, the nightingale sang unto me---

"The most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or touched

They must be felt with the heart

Awaken unto the pure consciousness of the Complete Being within

Let the Spirit of beauty shine forth as the true fountain of life

Then thou shalt coalesce with the uplands of thy desire

The eternal flame burns brightly within thy soul

True Holiness is to return unto The Whole"...
