as if you were the light
because you are, brilliant
being of resplendent energy,
fiery as the brightest star.
Every atom of you the same:
absolute kin to earth, tree, sky.
Your body unique yet identical to mine,
indistinguishable from mountain,
hawk, lion and sea; all light
morning, noon and night
chanting one word, one law
above all: Love.
