Poem ‘I have become the hollow drum’ by Edward Saugstad

In separation have I suffered long,
  But now am glorified in the eternal bliss of Union:

   And from my core,
     That once was small.
       The sound of Light
         Expands to all.

           Never will I shrink again
             Into a ball of doubt and pain.
               Forever forth, in inner sky,
                 I spread my wings and upward fly



              All Life pulsates within my breast.


                    I have become
                    The hollow drum.
