Seeds of Poison, Seeds of Love

Poisonous seeds lie inside us,
and if they do not gain life through us,
external violation will give them life.

Such seeds are given to us
without our knowing;
and if we come to know these seeds,
first they will have an imaginary life,
then they will disappear.
And seeds of love will prosper.

Seeing will burn
all forced actions
that we have done;
that have been done to us.
Seeing will burn out imaginary fears.
Seeing will burn all our poisons,
seeing the garden.

Unmanifest love becomes poison.
Manifest poison becomes hidden.
Hidden poison becomes fear.
Manifest fear becomes silence.
Journey forth.
