Mother of Other


Your heart connects to one great mother,
wherein all hearts meet each other.

One trillion threads converge as one,
singing as they dance along.

~

A trillion me!
Ten trillion you!
A hundred trillion things to do!

A thousand million trillion waves -
A billion trillion paths to take!

So many these, so many thats,
delicious teas and fashionable hats.

A trillion trilion ways to find
infinite ways to blow your mind!

All these lovers, all these colors -
trillions to mistake as 'other'.

~

Yet 'other' is the dark mother,
with wrong and bad her twin brothers.

Many cry many tears
churning up in wrong-bad's gears.

Though wrong and bad don't stand a chance
when love you are, and light you have!

They'll wipe themselves right off the map
before you're even half-way back
to where this whole great show began -
in always-and-forever-land.

The deepest, darkest pit of all
with one bright light, is clear to all!

~

So how to live a trillion years,
free of wrathful wrong-bad's fear?

Few have ever done the math
and fewer still have walked the path.

Yet you're the One, and now's the time...
so what is it you're trying to find?

~

Could 'trillion' others all be you?

Well that depends a lot on who
you think yourself to be.

A trillion yous that think they're me?

Or one who knows you're always you,
so clearly all the rest are too.
