Of Candles and Due,
Of Fire and Grass
We are all in a maze with our minds here and there;
Of heat and of Warmth,
Of Air and of Breath;
I breathe in my air like ‘ere I have lived.
In the sun I see round as I feel it speak,
To me it says “Glow” as to those it says “woe”,
Is it time when I shall feel the light of my air;
On the due, and my roundness of warmth
On the ground that is yours.
I will still see you today as tomorrow and more,
Though I feel with my warmth for those yearnings I pour;
Is it the heat that I shall give or due that you see?
Will I choose this or another to be my companion in time as space I AM;
For the cradle will still light
As the light that I AM.
The Light will still grow longer, my warmth will caress;
The due on my hand as it drips from my face;
This is my story for all to hear,
Of Life, Of cycles, Of speech and of Fear;
To walk through in me, you will have to see clearly;
The paths in front of feet and hands daily.
