I kept wiping the dust of journeys from my face, Lost in that lane's unending, circling grace. This is my eye's shrine—tread softly, hold your breath, A dream still whirls here in the heart of death. I stepped before myself, pushed to the extreme, Yet He forgave even me, or so it would seem. And now I see—it was never the sacred shrine, Only your home I mistook for the divine. I am but embers, I am the fire's core, So every lamp I lit confessed, and burned for

The Dust of Journeys
I kept wiping the dust of journeys from my face, Lost in that lane's unending, circling grace. This is my eye's shrine—tread softly, hold your breath, A dream still whirls here in the heart of death. I stepped before myself, pushed to the extreme, Yet He forgave even me, or so it would seem. And now I see—it was never the sacred shrine, Only your home I mistook for the divine. I am but embers, I am the fire's core, So every lamp I lit confessed, and burned for
