May the Light be born in you
For I know the Light
Shall be born in me.
In the nest of Solitude,
I embrace ultimate togetherness.
Solitude?
What a mesmerizing idea,
Can you really be alone?
Squirrels, grass, bushes, birds
Singing the everlasting song.
*
May the Light be born in you
For I know the Light
Shall be born in me.
Unbound,
Love triumphs in the act of giving,
Like a door that only opens towards the outside.
Love shatters anything that is not it,
Unmaking the lie, unveiling the truth,
In spite of all the obstacles we create,
It triumphs: surrender and will become one.
*
May the Light be born in you
For I know the Light
Shall be born in me.
In the glint of tears,
Tears of freedom,
Tears of understanding,
Tears of love,
Washing away the unnecessary,
Making space for the gift
Of a newborn Child.
*
For the Light shall be
Within you and within me.
