Spirit Bursts into Life

Spectacularly

Flowing through eternity

In a body made of flesh and bone

Far away from home, I roam

With no memory of

The harking herald or the peaceful dove

Spirit cast into form

A child is born

He is named

And tamed

He conforms to humankind

Leaving behind

Knowledge of his divine nature

To which he will seek to find

He becomes driven by his mind

To seek, forever seek

That which we are

We are all made of stars

Life is light speed

Goes by fast

Love is the only way to succeed

For it is only love that lasts

We came as spirits descending upon earth

Through gravity and humanity

Some have questioned their worth

They may have believed stories and fables

That left them feeling stuck and unable

To live their dreams

Outside the paradigm

Of political themes

Wasted precious time

Time

Took hold

Kept people busy until they were old

Where did it go? All the fleeting moments met

And let

To wither in the cold

Shadow of ego

The masks we wear as we go

Through each life

Repeating the stories we know

We’re particular

Toward the familiar

Who is it that is attached

That latches on to his impermanent body

As if his life depended on it

Who is the one fearing

In the mind’s quiet solemn clearing

We see that it is ego who clings

For when the bell rings

It is time to go home

To the eternal sacred call of Aum

Ascend to the light

A star you were born

Star reignites

Again, you are

A spirit in flight

Formless, eternal light

Around and around, we go

Into the great unknown
