A ball of light

No role to play, no need to hide
The ego dissolves, the character has died.
A conscious spark, so suddenly bright
Awakens life in boundless light.

The endless universe dances within,
Like waves that crash, then rise again.
You’re like the sky: free, bright and space,
The soul at peace, no dreams to chase.

Beyond the name, beyond the face,
A spirit was growing, in silent embrace.
No more script to read, no more lines to say,
Just laughter that echoes, then fades away.

Like snow in sun, all troubles melt,
No shadowing past, just present felt.
The mind set free, past ego and fear.
No self remains, yet all is here.

Freed from the prison of becoming,
No goals to claim, no need for might.
Just being, expecting nothing,
Except for bursting into a ball of light.
