Light/Fire

The light in your eyes

Shines with the power of

A thousand stars

The fire in my heart

Recognizes itself

Enfolded as I am

By the warmth of your

Smile

Have I known you before?

Did you come knocking

On the door of my soul

In dreams

When restlessness

Woke me with a start

I seemed to feel your breath

On my cheek

And yet the room was

Cold and empty

When I woke

It seems to me

I have been missing

Your light

Your warmth

Your fire

And your joy

For all of my life

Yet I never forgot you my love

As dark as things became

My longing for you

Drew me on

With every single faltering step

Of my life

So now I surrender my soul

Completely inside the purifying fire

Within its unitive warmth

All resistance dissolves

And held still

At the center of its flame

My entire being

Is transformed
