The Fire Ceremony (poem)
The Fire Ceremony
O, Shiva of the Radiant Body,
enter me.
Let me, like you,
be a world dancer,
one who turns
to keep the world alive.
Let all that is
be infused with light,
the holy ones arriving
bearing green boughs and incense.
Let the fires we now summon
illumine our souls
and bring you closer
to our world.
Let us lay the offering
carefully
according
to the sacred design.
Let the sacrifice be
our spirits,
awakening light
out of darkness.
