When your eyes Pause on the ball That hangs on the third branch from the star You remember why it is dark And why it gets light again
The earth like the hearts Slopes in it's seat And like that it travels Along an elliptical path Drawn into the darkness
An unpolished pearl In the sky black palm of hands Flickering sun flame
And then you remember That you yourself You are a light bearer, a light bearer Receiving radiance from others Flickering sun flame Unpolished earth In the palm of hands
