Revêtue d'élégance   
Brodant tapisserie   
Il a fleuri   
Pour intense pilier spirituel   
Être le corps glorieux du Double.      
 
Humble par ses déboires   
Il avait la possibilité de vivre   
Et de mourir   
Pour l'éternité   
Telle pensée qui vibre.      
 
A recueillir les signes   
A se colorer des reflets du feu   
A être mystère métamorphique   
Il a frôlé la perfection    
Avant d'entrer dans l'invisible.      
 
Le plus court chemin   
Est d'être dépouillé   
D'être rien pour soi-même   
D'avoir précédé la conscience   
Du néant de l'existence.      
 
Une vie généreuse   
De la bonté   
Cette aspiration vers le haut   
Au premier jour de l'espérance   
La présence à ce qui est.
