Finally, one day, all mist and dew –

is wiped away. Alone are you

And there before — your blinking eyes,

opened wide the door — to para — dise

The burden too much You’ve come so far?

A welcome — a touch? No! Therin — an empty star.

No Father God to support — no Mother to embrace –

No Brotherhood for comfort. Alone in this place.

Lay the burden down; and after tears subside,

Look around — naught to hide.

Your “self” to face. Your God is “you”.

The “Light”? — an empty place, to fill anew.

Your burden open up; the soul’s womb, you see

an overflowing cup — of me and Me and ME.

A Trinity you say — to fill this empty star?

That’s one way. Many others there are.

Dream — Paint — Play. Your universe is thine.

You, the Creator, your way. Mine is mine.

Alone you be? Fear it not.

A blank page — you see –

is not long your lot.
