“Just a little more than usual,”
he thought,
“the world has never seen the brilliance of this Lamp!”
The light spoke out of its fullness,
saying:  “Be illumined.”

A fly went traveling unto a wise and learned elephant.
An elephant went traveling to meet a young fly.
“Have you taken the nutrients,
like a delicious dessert?”  The elephant asked the fly.
“Oh know, know thee, I prefer only the finest nectar, so put your prejudices aside!”
“I meant no harm,” said the elephant,
“just seeking to give you something if you needed…”
The fly revealed his single Eye,
showing a ground thus rightly seeded::

:For the Word,
you must be charged,
and it is a high price,
--who can afford it!
if you can’t ~
move on by,
as it can’t be bartered for less.

:The corpse has eaten death,
now life proliferates.
I am like the wind,
blowing to and thru you,
around and in you,
of and as you –
the wind of life,
the soft breeze of ephemeral being.

The elephant, arousing suspicions amidst those not familiar with long pauses, spake thusly,  in eloquent sonnetry, after a manner that rather represented a dissertation given to persuade a Pair of Royal Deciders:

“The truth, my friend, which you have here shown me
is the Pearl of Great Freedom, from here
to the Heaven above and below me,
for those with clear-thinking is this made clear.
Let my words be consider’d as heartfelt,
For the Love which I would give is Secret,
and set to make the most devout’s heart-melt:
Beyond all work, There is a Love-Perfect.
Attain this and it is an easy way,
ONE is trying our hearts for compassion.
Be kind to all creatures – the fly, I say!
Let Kindness be your meat, Truth your ration.
I Speak and now you listen, but I ask:
Will you Speak also and Rise to the task?”

The fly was rapt,
entwined in what was given,
he paused…

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz….
{{{Light upon Light}}}

“Peace, I am of the Light,
I have come forth from the Light,
and have attained the Light,
for the Light hath given rise to all beings,
and we are its children…indeed,
I am a Child of the Creative Light,”
so said the least of all beings, the fly,
who had tasted of the Nectar of the Tavern-Master,
the Spring which has its Source in the Infinite,

and is the Mercy of Elohim-Rama,
The Supremely Compassionate One.

The elephant incanted the Holy Symbol:
[sonorous & long]

OM.
