Equation of My Life


I have failed to do the homework of the soul.

The mathematics of the Infinite

Have yet to learn, the sole supporting number

Of the All. And hardly can I add

To this sum of life the vast beatitudes

That multiply with each aspiring breath.

Division disappears but still the ego

Rules in the accounting book of days

And must be stricken from final page

And in the spirit's ledger summed as nought.

To balance all these integers that pass

As multiples of earth's variety

And know the spirit can alone compute

The hidden decimals of divinity.

To add to the love of beauty the need for truth

As the equation for the spirit's growth,

Total the blessings, erase the errors past

And exponentially grow towards the light.
