Unguarded Heart
In the silence of the night,
I long for the warmth of the unguarded heart,
for a heart that knows no bounds,
until only the essence of flames remains,
from which I was born.
Like souls once united, now separated by time,
I would welcome the wonder and awe of an Earth reborn.
But the image of this world slips from my sight,
fading like the last light of the sun.
I find no solace in silence;
I long for the fire within me.
Let your light shine on me, and illuminate the shadows that remain.
Fill me, for I am weary.
Lay me down, free me from the burdens of this world.
Open the heavens and let the flames consume all that is useless, for all my life I have waited in silent expectation.
I dreamed of an Earth with open eyes,
but time moved inexorably forward,
and created new realms.
My heart, floating in this vast universe,
knows that no moment is eternal.
So I ask that the fire within me be rekindled.
Shine your light upon me. Light my way, make my path complete.
Do not delay; I strive for perfection.
Lay me down, wash away the burden of this existence.
Open the heavens and let the flames purify all that binds me.
All my life I have waited for you to shine your light upon me.
I have dreamed of a world whose eyes are open to its possibilities,
but time passed and new worlds were created.
In this boundless spaciousness, my heart understands the transience of moments.
So I call upon the fire within me to awaken.
Let your light shine on me. Illuminate my being, make me whole.
Let your light shine on me without delay.
Lay me down, cleanse my soul from this world.
Open the sky and let the flames consume all that is unnecessary,
for all my life I have waited for you to shine your light upon me.
