Heart of Being

A look was cast, so you and I could drink existence

From an overflowing cup of starry nights

Faintly quickening the pulse of our essence

Telling new beginnings

To take flight

They say nothingness and being, know not why they are

Yet they share in existence just the same

Does this mean one is full of wisdom, taking him so far

When asked, he cannot

Recall his name

Entwined in our existence are strong yearnings just to be

Determining where our gaze strays within

Making it possible to be, more than we ourselves can see

If we drink from this cup

Once again

A look was cast, so you and I could find the heart of being

We held on to in nothingness the same

Will you drink from the overflowing cup I am seeing

Gaze within and still recall

My name?
