Offspring

The constructs of identity

Imbedded in mind

Are born of self-awareness

Where distinction is defined

Some call the true self spirit

Which transcends mortal plight

But where did this form come from

What forces shaped its like

Some say that Love gave birth to it

And shaped it as it’s own

In sentient similitude

Of the Divine enthroned

From essence inexhaustible

Extracting what was there

Eternal in its nature

And potential made aware

Within this universal mirror

I saw in All the Self

Existence had been given eyes

To see its boundless wealth

The Shapeless in its beauty

Thus, had given Self to form

A sacrifice that will return

Her offspring to their home
