The Divine Ocean
(Pathways of the Soul)


Don't hold back!
Reluctance
doesn't work here!
Just jump headfirst
right into life,
for this is all there is.

I wish
I could promise you more,
but I'd be lying.
I'd be trying
to make myself understood,
trying
to make you feel good.

This world abounds
in enough palliatives,
false hopes,
edicts and dogmas!
Cast them aside!

LIVE, LIVE, LIVE,
never counting the cost.
Burn the candle brightly
from middle to ends
until your vanity's spent
and the spark that is you
whirs
through the dark void
to drown in the Ocean,
until it is sent

Where?

Why, of course, back...

to do it all over again!
