One day my troubled soul took flight
from this abode of time and space
to where I stood in Council,
known by them
from uncounted lifetimes past.

From human physicality
they lifted me
to celestial vaults
infinitely echoing the light and sounds of love.

I hovered there
beyond all human sight;
infinitesimal spark, yet
valued so!

The eldest’s voice:
”Beloved one, look down
to Earth’s blue sphere
and see yourself.

”Your problems are how big
from here?”

Washed by their love
I left behind the pain

Then, coming back
to flesh,
forgot that place

But for the
fleeting memory
of a transcendent fragrant flower
of joy.
