In the hour of false clarity the mirror beckons with borrowed light
empty your hands that you might grasp the Source
I.
When dawn’s first breath blooms into hollow promise
the glass invites you to believe its glow
yet every shimmer is a wound unhealed
empty your hands that you might grasp the Source
II.
A voice of reason coils around the heart
whispering truths that tear the soul
it trades your essence for echoing words
empty your hands that you might grasp the Source
III.
In the cavern where silence is the only prayer
an unseen river carves the self away
and what remains is unclaimed and free
empty your hands that you might grasp the Source
IV.
Beneath the vaulted sky of doubt and wonder
stars speak in riddles older than the world
their language dissolves all certainty
empty your hands that you might grasp the Source
V.
The mind erects its towers of glass and smoke
each story built upon a lie
until the wind of Spirit shatters the façade
empty your hands that you might grasp the Source
VI.
A trembling flame flickers in the void
its warmth a promise of unseen dawn
it calls you beyond appearance and name
empty your hands that you might grasp the Source
VII.
In the mirror’s edge your visage trembles
a pilgrim lost between flesh and faith
yet grace waits behind every fracture
empty your hands that you might grasp the Source
VIII.
Let every borrowed glow dissolve in winter air
let every claim of knowing fall like autumn leaves
so your soul can rise in naked clarity
empty your hands that you might grasp the Source
IX.
When finally you stand before the silent well
there is no echo to betray your heart
only the living voice of what always was
empty your hands that you might grasp the Source
