we lose ourselves
in the outer glimmer and dance
we leave the sanctuary of the heart
our essential being
that nectar of self recognition
that pivotal grace
for crumbs
power grabs
priorities that can leave us barren and bereft…
we forgo the oasis
our essential constant selves
the great heart of being
that would quench our thirst entirely
in exchange for a desolate landscape
devoid of love
come back home, oh lost one
come back to yourself
remember
