The Sacred Flame

Oh my love which is within me

Flow from your depth

Burn my cells with your glowing fire

Don’t leave anything which is not holy or pure

Feed me with your sacred force

So that my soul and my body may serve you

You that are in me since my birth

Your sweetness and creative flame

Make the plants and the flowers thrive

You maintain the life of all creatures

In the air, on earth, and in the water

What would become of us without you, sacred flame?

Without us being aware, you animate us

You are the only source of life in the universe

To feel you my body shivers and my soul enjoys

My heart murmurs your beautiful words

My eyes are bedazzled with light

Your rays penetrate the entire universe

Teach us to offer from our heart

You, the great noble and generous one
