The shadow, sorry self
you know yourself to be
is a made-up you.
A figment based on history,
memory and the lies
you have been told.
Have you not glimpsed
the glory of your own being?
Have you not dissolved
into eternity and known yourself
as infinite and full of light?
Has ecstasy not looked
back at you in the mirror
of your own soul?
Don't be fooled
by the shadow self,
so seemingly real.
In the blazing brilliance
of your true nature
all such shadows disappear.
