There’s a child lying still in fear and in pain,

Seems unattended by those standing near.

She doesn’t remember that Love brought her here,

Distrust in the Wisdom remains.

 And by five she has turned to the voices she hears,

Though the darkness just grows that much darker.

The light that she is seems to mark her

To be used by the forces of fear.

The price of the distance so dear.

 The king and the queen have abandoned the throne

So the true ace of hearts is secure.

 Still, the school years so hard to endure

And at thirteen she stands so alone. 

‘Til a teacher with Sight looks inside her,

Sees a spark of the Fire Divine,

Gives her hand and with love turns to guide her, saying

“Child, you are here to remind

To be a spark of the Fire that kindles the flame,

To open your heart and remember your name,

It was given in truth by the Truth that you are,

You’re dust of the galaxy, light of the star,

With breath of the sages still moist in your veins.

It’s the reason – remember – you came.”

 Over time other teachers would add to the core

Of the story that first one had told her,

And some would so lovingly hold her

When her yesterdays knocked at the door

With their gifts from the dark years before.

But always in memory holding the place

Was the seed that a teacher had sown

In the heart of a girl once alone,

Who now stands with a Light in her face

In love with Life’s elegant grace.

 Because a teacher with Sight looked inside her,

Saw a spark of the Fire Divine,

Gave her hand and with love turned to guide her, saying

“Child you are here to remind us

To be a spark of the Fire that kindles the flame,

To open our heart and remember our name,

Given in truth by that Truth that we are,

We’re dust of the galaxy, light of the star,

With breath of the sages still moist in our veins

It’s the reason – remember – we came.”

To be a spark of the Fire that kindles the flame,

Is the reason, yeah – remember – we came.
