Within the breadth of love

I stand amazed,

All consumed in the fire

That is poetry.

Burning away into wisps of smoke

That obliterate existence

Leaving nothing but emptiness.

I surrender all to such a power.

To daily sing a praise,

And so goes the journey

Without forethought I fall backward

Arms, and mouth open wide.
