you and who

turn your light inward
the mind unconcerned with name or gain
You
should therefore cease

carry your heart like a sun
You
could become a
great horseman and help
to free yourself and this world though
only if you and prayer become sweet lovers.
It is a naive man who thinks we are not engaged in a
fierce battle, for I see and hear brave foot soldiers

in excruciating pain. You could become a
victorious horseman and carry your
heart through this world like a
life-giving sun though only
if you and God become
sweet lovers.

You must realize
that what is at stake here
does not reside in words and phrases:

of flashing lightning. However you mange to deal
with this, you cannot get around losing
your body and life.
if we do not help those below us
they did, like this and like this

we weaken our own foundation.
Times of increase only continue if
we remain generous, balanced,
and correct throughout.
