Each of us possesses a flame
shining brightly in our birth
never extinguished..soon forgotten..
Why forgotten we ask..
Well..we noticed that other
our dear mother..suddenly exclaiming:
I saw her myself..!
Such was our personal
Garden of Eden
where a diminutive body plus mind
verified and verified again
a life sweetly and sadly embroiled
in apparent separation..
This grasping truth in discovery
hid the flame and waked a longing
a stuttered seeking to uncover
that hidden flame..
The flame awaits as we dance
a dance between desire and fear
fueled by glimpses of promise
to burn personal separation
and birth the impersonal:
eternal Happiness..The Flame...
