Flame In the Dark

The empty mind
        Will soon 
              become enlightened
As soft touch
Will cause the power
Of lava to flow
                  Mystical music 
in the badkground
  Hearts beat in sync with the rhythm
                 Leaves will 
Soon fall off the tree
The bare tree - the pure mind
Is what we're after
                         Soon we will
                          Drink sacred water
                                Move in time
To the river's flow
             Dance around 
The sacred fire
                     Realize the mind
Is no-mind
And the senses cannot capture 
              The true essence
Only spirit can
         Acheive finality
