Ulladu Narpadu Addendum 87

Life after life, ego shape shifts its form,
flitting about from desire to desire,
for endless are objects heart does aspire,
like a rebel, choosing not to conform,
to pulsations of grace, loving and warm,
till a day comes when ego too does tire,
when lust consigned to the funeral fire,
we find ourself centred in a bliss storm.

By itself, ego has no existence,
drawing its power from the light of Self,
so it falls like a dead leaf from a tree,
whereupon we reclaim our quintessence,
being living light that glows by itself,
free from bondage, ambling through life carefree.

What are reforming lights against ego death compared to transforming powers for eco-life reborn unconditionally extending compassion's incaste/outcaste timeless inhaled/exhaled warmth pausing poles v holes without withining paradoxing coital interchange.
