    FIRE HAS LEFT THE HEARTH
    Fire has left the hearth
    Nautilus climbed from shell
    Perfume flowed from bottle
    Prisoner gone from cell
    Butterfly flutterbied cocoon
    nor hand restrained by glove
    Jesus away from manger
    Cage left by Spirit Dove.
    Sparklings soared away from wand.
    Chick's egg become the bird.
    Omkar sung from out the throat
    Violin's notes now heard.
    Buddhist temple pine cone
    tabernacle'd godlet seed
    Shattered that it might manifest
    thousand forests of fir tree
    Eternal snow of mountain top
    now nurses meadow flowers.
    Shining never held by sun
    relentless melts ice towers.
    Love has left its
    spring the heart
    Is now a liquid pond
    Host stolen from the chalice
    consumed in mouth of God
    Starlight abandoned star
    a billion years ago
    Left that tonight you
    might
    have its sight
    and know
    Know Love is forever
    no drop of God ever dies
    Lover not bound by form of love
    God's bodies are not God's souls
    (to his wife and children
    on the death of Robert S)
    (Baba Hari Das: is the author
    of love is more powerful than
    lover for love is not bound by
    form).
