In the flame there is truth,
It is inside you, in stillness,
Like the middle of the night,
Held tight between the days,
The stillness you learnt
To distrust, that stillness holds
Your inner gold.
Do not be afraid.
Flow, let go, and you will be
Taken there, on the winds of
The infinite. There is nothing
You must do but know it.
This is your life's work,
Between vegan promises
And a devoured plate of meat,
Between cigarettes and
Diet Coke, among blue sky
Sunday wonder and
A Wednesday mess.
Burn in the stillness of a
Meadow at night and the
Mountain top at dawn,
Burn when the rain hits your skin,
Burn into the strangers smiling
Eyes at yours.
It’s all you ever yearned for,
Memories of things you never knew.
Do not be afraid,
meet it
When it comes, as you would the
Limitless spread of morning sun.
