Listen Child



Listen child,

To your breath belongs the gentle power

that created the sun.

Your inhalation awakens stars in your body.

Your exhalation charges the moon and planets

with atom-whirling fire.

Mountains, streams, clouds and forests live
because you are alive.

No one will teach you this in school.

They don't want you to be filled

with your own invincible radiance.

You must learn it from the terrible sweet drum
of your heart.

Listen child,

whatever you dream of,

whatever you desire,

whatever you worship,

you are That.
