THE FIRE OF LIFE
Life is like a burning fire
that needs a draft to glow;
but the very nature of the fire
does cause the draft to flow.
Where then the fire without the draft,
or the draft without the fire;
where then the gods and highest truths
if minds did not aspire?
And even if there were no thing
to which one could attain,
ever then it still be wise
to assume of such a flame.
But stranger yet than fiction,
to which dreaming minds aspire,
there is indeed a reality
which is infinitely higher.
Do not ask me what it is;
for I only know it's there;
deeper than the mind in bliss
midst paradise so fair.
Let truth be both my witness,
judge, and jury too,
when stating that such thing 'IS SO',
and at the root of you.
