The One Who Teaches from Within

Self-mastery can be inspired, evoked, and nourished

I want to tell you about my Master,
the one who teaches from within,
that like a heartbeat longing to be heard
becomes the twin I never knew I had.

Him! That one!
He is calling me,
not with music, that would be too easy,
but with longing — that’s his choir!

I cannot describe this man,
my words only exclude,
limit by defining.
Better simply to say, “the one I love,”
answer to a prayer much too subtle
for anyone else to hear.

Him! That One!
Keeper of the flame,
who I am, was, and will be
when there’s no one around to remember my name,
why you like candlelight,
want a child, dream –
the one with no other master plan but love.

I have met this man, or should I say, observed,
struck dumb by his simplicity
and the unspeakable glory of seeing
what these eyes first opened for.
