left there

the temple walls are burning 

those that kneel there are free 

to wander in the land of the holy

of holies 

the Cross too, it has died 

in the heat 

i bear it no more child 

for i have walked those steep hills 

heavy with the burden

of  ego 

lost to the world so long, so long 

and i have let this energy rule 

so long, so long 

but i met the guard at the gate 

and he let me in 

to bathe in the clear waters 

and i tore my clothes of the world 

off 

laid them down 

the night was deep, the moon full

left there i sank to the cosmos 

the ripe life 

left there i sank to the soul

of all
