Perched upon the muzzle of a cannon
A yellow butterfly is slowly opening
and shutting its wings.
~ Amy Lowell
In your nature
eternal Godhead,
I shall come to know my nature
And what is my nature, boundless love?
It is fire,
Because You are nothing but a Fire
And You have given humankind
a share in this nature
for by the Fire of Love,
You created us.
