Notes About The Poem

Reflected Universe

Reflected universe spawned by desire
Beauteous dance of playful innocence 
In truth, we are That, for which we aspire

Endless seeking and craving, heart afire
Pathetic is addictive indulgence
Reflected universe spawned by desire

Cessation the way, ceasing to acquire 
Flowing in calm, head and heart in balance 
In truth, we are That, for which we aspire

Ego consigned to the funeral pyre
Ends with illusions, foolish dalliance
Reflected universe spawned by desire

No sooner with outer world, we do tire
We are astonished at our effulgence
In truth, we are That, for which we aspire

Oh hermit, this earth life will soon expire
Let the lamp of love shine in full brilliance
Reflected universe spawned by desire
In truth, we are That, for which we aspire
