attunement

song of light
the blazing sun within my heart,
I see all by the light of my eyes,
anything I do not understand,
I must just not understand
and not despise.

the soft light of mother heart,
the searing discernment of father's
the perfect attunement of brother's, sister's, friend's,
we are on different roads, you and I,
both to the same end.

take a flame within your palm,
close upon it, feel it's warmth,
open now and breathe it in
watch your soul renew and spin
a flower in a flower within
a world within a drop
of water suspended finally mended
a life that sits in the still center
of a careening top.
