Going Home
abracad, · Categories: externally authored, poetry, spiritualityBy Dr. Stewart Bitkoff
“If you wish to know how something ends
Look at its beginning.â€
-Traditional
The acorn goes deep into the earth
And as the seasons pass,
Grows into a mighty oak.
Spreading its limbs for many years;
Giving shade and nourishment to the countryside.
One day, only to decay and return back to the ground.
O spiritual traveler, when you close your eyes
For the last time, where will you go?
The twin sparks of energy
That joined and exploded
Inside your mother’s womb,
Carry you through your days.
Then one day this energy too
Must journey forward to someplace else.
Where will this energy take you?
Remember, it was Love
That brought you here,
And it is Love that will carry you
From world to world.
One day, to return Home.
