Ego shorn we are reborn

when we know the light is
but see it not
we are aware of separation 
from truth of our being

denied and yet we may not seek
that that is innate to us
because the entity that seeks is not
rather ego is veil of ignorance 

in passivity, silence and in activity, love
these transcendent aspects illumine us
erasing narrow identity
which when drops, truth is known

in direct sight
