union

Sight of a bird flying into the sun  
It was my soul traveling through the cosmos  
A middle pillar rose before me  
I stood in a state of timeless adoration  
The Godhead gave me a key to unlock the inner realm  
I struggled to use it  
The world told me it was an illusion  
And best to stay asleep  
But the spark inside me woke  
I soared by the moon  
Took a look at the world that slumbered  
The fire swelled and lit a flame in my mind  
Then drew me up twisting stairs and through the gate of understanding  
Past wisdom to the union that I had before time began...
