OFFERING UP

And can you let it go?
Can you let it be beyond you?
Can you offer it up?

It is hidden in your heart, and your heart knows
This is the sacrifice, and you are it.

Feel it. And it is burning
With the clear flame we call love
That burns off what doesn’t belong to it.

Feel it, and it is a jewel
It is the most precious thing you have.

And it is yours – because you gave it.

The flame burns rose in your mind, like wine.

It is the best you have, and you gave it. Can you?
