The Oracles Song

To feel the light's nurturing embrace,  
Is to have danced within darkness’s gaze.  
For from the womb of suffering,  
Is the place where strength is born.  
the bosom of pain,  
Where happiness drank,  
remains the place
knowledge is stored.  
through the act of deceit,  
Truth is conceived.  
the belly of hatred,  
Where Love plants its seed.  
in life’s internal furnace,  
Balance is believed.  

For to drink from an empty cup,  
Does no one any good.  
And to pour into a cup too full
Yields only half of what it should.
So drink from the cup before it spills,
Keep your balance, mind your tilt.
Truly immerse yourself, take it all in,
Envelop yourself in the gifts
that life freely gives
