The Headspring

Shrouded in the veil of ego
A flame 
of the eternal light
blazing bright 
as a beam of the sight 
the firm flash of insight
and the beauty’s dainty delight.

Cradled in the well of ego
A wave
of the infinite ocean          
streaming serene
as a sound note in motion
the splendid spark of devotion
and the art’s aesthetic portion.

Planted in the soil of ego
A seed 
of the timeless being
sprouting spring
as a tree from a seedling
the vivid vitality of living
and the mind’s mystical musing.

A flame,
A wave,
A seed.
The marvel of the soul’s haloed headspring.
Blazing, 
streaming, 
sprouting.

Thank you, Linda! I had composed this one to enter the contest "The Source of Awareness," but by the time I finished, the contest had closed...But I am glad it inspired me.
