Awake oh hermit
We looked in our head and found nothing there,
save wisps of smoky thoughts, heart manifest,
so we dived into our heart, where we found
light of awareness, that makes us aware,
whence opting to enter trance, in mere jest,
this choice unsound, found us with ego bound.
The game of do or dare, became soul’s snare
and earth life became a burdensome test,
with dark desires continuing to hound
but then we felt love, asking us to pair
with all existence, that we may be blessed,
whence baptised, ego is in bliss mists drowned.
That that died never was, yet was the cause
of our amnesia, which flame of truth thaws.
