Brahman’s Blossom




If I have made
my mark on you, my child,
and instilled within your heart
any of that brave stuff
which is my essence,
   I have done that which I was placed
   in this time to do.

If one seed has been planted
that blossoms into knowledge
it took so long to glean;
one kernel of eternal Truth
that arrived in me so late,
   my long fallow has ended,
   and my stewardship is done.

If eternity approaches
and I return my Brahman spark,
leaving some small word
that I have spoken
to flourish in your life,
   then that Spark will glow brighter
   for having sheltered within you.
