THE RADIANT HEART

Lost in a wilderness where no flowers grow

Twisted trees cling low to the ground

And tears rain down from the moon

Through skies gray from the soot of factories

That produce despair, hopelessness

And the machines of war

Bringing devastation to the masses

A world where the snow is gray

Birds and even the people

With weary and empty eyes

Have a gray pall to their skin

And move slowly in exhaustion

Walking in circles going nowhere

Looking for the Promised Land

      Be still

Look with inner eyes to see

A winged heart in the sky

Like the morning star

That illuminates darkness

At the edge of night

Bringing light

Bringing hope

The radiant heart is like the rays of the rising sun

Melting the ice

The sun shines through the heart

And the heart shines through the eyes

All hearts have the same call

And the sun shines equally on all

       Be still

Listen with inner ears to hear

The roar of the lion

The voice of the wind

And your own heartbeat

Be still

We come in peace

We all share the same breath

The sun and the moon

We all share the same life

And the sun shines equally on all

                           - Paresh
