Starlight


drink deep;

breathe

 

peace,

hidden,

in chaos.

 

bliss,

in terror

 

there is no limitation,

anywhere,

that is not self imposed

 

silence is the ground which noise subsides, arising

YOU are the supreme field in which pain and beauty play

untouched, pure, eternal

 

never believe a word

look, just look

immortal despite birth

 

the pairs of opposites find their union in Self

Self, projecting the world, playing with ego

awe inherent to each moment

 

immortal through birth

the world is the power of death

eternally dynamic

 

goad to metamorphosis 

the great ensaring freedom
