Awake Again

I woke up in love with Life,

In love, My Love, with you,

Knowing it will be alright,

For I’m wrapped up in you.

And you are the glorious cosmos,

And you are the quiet pulse

That beats and causes all to breathe,

And move, and eat, and dance,

And sleep a deathlike slumber,

And forget a life of woe,

And wake to the infinite number,

And dream in ones and zeroes.

And it is better to strive in one’s dharma

Than succeed in something else.

And I will be thrilled, in this, my life’s work,

Knowing you are my life’s working self.
