Love isThe funeral pyreWhere I have laid my living body.All the false notions of myselfThat once caused fear, pain,Have turned to ashAs I neared God.What has risenFrom the tangled web of thought and sinewNow shines with jubilationThrough the eyes of angelsAnd screams from the guts of Infinite existenceItself.Love is the funeral pyreWhere the heart must layIts body.
