flames touch,

kisses refract

across crystal skies;

your infinite embrace

calls me home.

in the dark vastness,

all is still;

peace rises softly,  

an end to seeking

the last of longing.

no questions linger, 

only the tranquil sea 

 of Becoming

rippling gently,

light cascading in.  

let suffering sleep;

lay down your troubles 

like soldiers disarmed, 

weary from battles ended 

beneath merciful skies.

let peace envelop us, 

a radiant mist

quenching smoldering 

hearts in the mantel 

of Love.
