Above and beyond
its manifest colours,
is the hottest part of the flame.
Patiently, and with trust,
bring the sacred frankincense
within your heart
to the invisible fire, and
it will be ignited
in this most intense heat.
That is the searing power
held only by Divine Love.
It is thus that human love
is purified, gains
dignity of purpose,
in the arms of the magnificent,
all-encompassing love of God.
