Poetry Poem: Burn

„Being a candle is not lite,

Before giving light one must burn!“ Rumi

Being is my light

The candle burning through this life

Bringing comfort, bringing enlightenment

Orientate on the direction of these insights

Feelings, sky high flying whisks of inspiration

Be wide open and free

Let the moment not choke this expanse of me

We are magnificent

We are free

We call the stars to congregate, consolidate

Shall I then become

Unaccustomed to conditions, preconceptions, ideologies ?

„Being a candle is not lite,

Before giving light one must burn!“ Rumi

Burn, yes incinerate these preconceptions of self

Liberate my perception, burn, then claim

My insignificance, my intrinsic right to liberation

My universality too.

Be true

Be me

Be oceanic

Be free

BURN
