The Oracle's Song

To feel the light's nurturing embrace, Is to have danced within darkness’s gaze. For from the womb of suffering, Is the place where strength is born. And the bosom of pain, Where happiness drank its fill, Is the place knowledge is stored. And through the act of deceit, Truth is conceived. And in the belly of hatred, Love plants its seed. And in life’s internal furnace, Balance is believed. For to drink from an empty cup, Does no one any good. And to fill a cup already full Means you only get half, Of what you should. So drink from the cup, Before it is filled. Keep your balance, Mind your tilt. Truly immerse yourself, Take it all in. Envelop your soul in the gifts, Life freely gives.
