~ Bright Flame ~

Before the eyes can clearly see
the message of the Trinity
they must be drowned in countless tears
of sorrow and pain
of all wounded pride
of constant despair
to where the eyes open
and behold a Bright Flame.

Before the wise man leaves his youth
before his voice can speak the Truth
he first must lay his life aside
and pray with his mind
to kindle his will
while praying alone
he owns all creation
and abolishes time.

Before the soul can stand alone
among the Saints to make a home
it must have heard the song of life
and carried its strength
through walls made of stone
to where Truth is found
the sound of tomorrow
calling all of mankind.
