mr. copeland said––
the perfect race car
completely disintegrates
after winning the perfect race
i
if life is the expression of energy
the perfected form of humanity
is light
ii
do not be afraid to liberate
your soul––
to become a sun rise
or the glow illuminating
a grandmother’s heart
iii
what is love but a form
of light energy
swimming across a dream?
iv
the fire spirit
perfects the dark
v
be as utterly elemental
as a dancing flame
vi
feel safe
you’re secure
vii
nothing
among all the infinities
can ever be lost––
only invisible for a time
viii
beauty creates one universe
after another
ix
without oxygen––
without fuel––
without hope––
the immortality of the flame
is indestructible
x
a spark ignites––
in the nowhere-everywhere-emptiness-
openness of the heart––
& you will always be
the light
