What we wanted

All we ever wanted

was to be reunited

with our source,

to be in that communion

like water is

as it travels on its journeys

to be reunited with itself,

as it carries light in liquid ripples

through rills and streams

All we wanted

was that certainty

of what we are —

that we are good,

that we are one

with that which lights us up within

We may pursue our winding path

through darkness, 

but it’s the gleams of light that lift us

and our light reflecting essence

that guides us

(as we will see when we look)

to everything we wanted.
