What Happened

Once upon a beginningless time

Beneath a starlit sky

Two pure faerylights

Hover over the lily pond

Knowing nothing else except the presence of the other

And of course the beauty of the world around them

In another age

Within a crystal pyramid of light

A couple hold hands

Each aware only of the presence of the other

And the bliss resulting from this

Promising never to be apart

Beneath the feet of the lotus master

All sat in reverence and adoration

Amongst them sat too

Two beings in devotion

Two truth seekers they were

Each aware and thankful for the presence of the other

Those were pure times

But in between flow the rivers of life

Some waters are cleansing

While others pollute

Yet others corrode

Until all memories are forgotten

Each unknowingly soaks the colors and flavors

This everflowing waters

Becoming a being each to one’s own

Not knowing the dangers that comes

With self with pride with arrogance

With Ego

Once there were two pure lights

Now there are two individuals

One knows the other

As a name a face another

Inviting when pleasing

Distant when displeasure arises

The beauty of the starlit sky

And the fragrance of the lilies

The innocence of their dance

The warmth of their devotion

Seems lost submerged

Alas!
