I stand in your fire
but remain unconsumed
and for the moment the world is still.
Only the words matter, as old as time,
offered for the world and bright with your presence.
How dark the night can be, and yet how precious this moment,
this day, this time when eternity is in my hand and I
stand in the flames of forever
but remain unconsumed.
I stand in your fire…
The Beautiful Path
