Little Star

Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

From a trillion miles afar -

Your rays penetrate the night

And avail of your delight.

Through the curvatures in space

Where the moments are erased

You forge onward in your course

To the sun and to the earth,

Both a photon and a wave -

Both a master and a slave -

Matter, energy and speed -

Both fulfilment and the need -

Self and space-disturbing force

Charting journey from its source.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star

Shimmer as you fling ajar

Door between the mind and heart -

Tear the manacles apart -

Make it shatter; make it bleed -

Water flowers; cull the weed;

Burn outside and burn within

Till the mind begins to spin

And avails of Northern Pole

To attain into the soul -

There to manifest as light

And achieve unending might

That can burn, and warm, and heal -

Universal truth reveal -

And allow it to break free

Like volcano in the sea,

There to reach into the clouds

And to exorcise the doubts

Of what's lovely - of what's good -

And what, if it only could -

If it only had the force -

Would make paradise of Earth.

Twinkle, twinkle, little soul,

Be my journey, be my goal

,Be my transcendental truth

And don't fall into misuse

But remain, all woes despite,

To give solace, courage, might -

To inspire the ones beneath

And direct them into bliss:

Burn and shine, and from my mind

Wipe false thoughts that make me blind

And replace myopic eyes

With the true, the good, the wise.

And as you reach in my bone,

Make it shatter like a stone,

Tear it, shake it, mold it, burn

From the sundown till the morn.

In the sky and in the eye

In the place where shadows fly

Disincarnate, free at last -

Free from future, free from past -

And existing anyhow

Living in eternal now:

Through the evening, through the dark,

Like a condor, like a shark,

Like a laughter, like a tear -

Through the moody atmosphere -

Little star! Twinkle and shine!

Burn me, scorn me, and be mine!
