Invert the Image

reversing polarity totally 
we become the bliss flame
delighting in piercing form
meticulously cleansing sins*
(*a euphemism for ignorance)
illuminating decaying body
and igniting toroidal heart

we see deluded ego identity
apprehensive feeling bliss
being magnetism unknown
and so we comfort the ego
by taking it up Jacob’s ladder
step by step till it recognises
that all that is is Self alone
