Live Lightly
by
Arlene Gay Levine


Next
 

as if you were the light
because you are, brilliant
being of resplendent energy,
fiery as the brightest star.
 
Every atom of you the same:
absolute kin to earth, tree, sky.
Your body unique yet identical to mine,
indistinguishable from mountain,
hawk, lion and sea; all light
 
morning, noon and night
chanting one word, one law
above all: Love.
