Drawn

You’ve never strayed

from your path,
 little Wandering One--

not once.

Every step forms a piece

of the mandala,

and it all holds together.

At a certain angle,

it shimmers.

You, this irrepressible light

that keeps spilling out

despite your efforts

to dim.

Pulled ever closer,

always homeward,

despite your attempts

to stay put.

Can’t you see

how you are drawn

to your becoming

like a pin to a magnet?

There is no stopping it.

So let yourself be drawn.

Let yourself become.

Let yourself be.
