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.
