Heartmind Like Fire

The body is wax
the HeartMind
a wick
and you
you are born
to become
divine flame
Be the candle
that gives itself to the flame
Be the river
that gives itself to the sea
Disappear
in the flowing and flame
of love
Everybody fears
the body has its resistances
the mind its excuses
The excuses are just distraction
a way to avoid the real problem –
that Love is to give oneself away
Love is to give oneself away
to unbecome
in the cloud
of unknowing
Be the candle
that gives itself to the flame
Be the river
that gives itself to the sea
Disappear
in the flowing and flame
of love
Refuse the invitation
from Death's masquerade party
and become all livingness here now
in this body
in this world
This very body
is the divine flame
this very place a blazing
forest of love
Be the candle
that gives itself to the flame
Be the river
that gives itself to the sea
Disappear
in the flowing and flame
of love
The body is wax
animated by a divine spark
fanned by the winds of mind
Ride the breath on 'the word'
and even the cells of your body will become
divinity
Forget this chance
and even divinity's offering
will become a corpse
Be the candle
that gives itself to the flame
Be the river
that gives itself to the sea
Disappear
in the flowing and flame
of love
