Swallow it down
turn him ON
Bright!

Cast out the shadows
the dark, dank
Blight

Flip it
Switch it
Illuminate the night

I AM incandescent
Join my brilliance
Join my fight

Let’s consume the darkness
Absolve others
Eat, breathe light

Cast out demons, open hearts,
bask in warmth
For all the right

Reasons

Until     darkness
Comes     again
Hungry

 

the sermon, the emotions

the story known to all

of newborn babe in manger

with livestock in a stall

 

the love this scene could conjure

good will and peace on earth

is all completely possible

if we embrace its worth

 

the agonies that men inflict

the suffering endured

would fall into perspective

would no longer be inured

 

And the light would shine…

Ecstasy.

 

 

In this empty darkness

Bitter pills swallowed
Escaping abyssmal low
Prepped for one last journey
Packed and ready to go
Letters written, finally
Explanations made, just so
Loose ends tied together
Autolysis soon will show

But no

Reach for the light

You seek the sun
Despite hail, rain and thunderstorms
You seek the sun
Flex, arch, open, til day is done
You fight pests, vermin, turning worms
Disregard all threats, anger, harms
You seek the sun

In the garden I AM reminded

My role is to love

My charge ~ to accept

When I embrace my divinity, I recognize my humanity.

In my humanity, I recognize yours

Francis was right…

Console ~ Understand ~ Love ~ Give ~ Forgive

Then move on

Move up

Toward Light

Lightness

Enlightenment

As it was alway meant

To Be

I AM currently reading The Reluctant Saint  ω The Life of Francis of Assisi by Donald Spoto. It is, indeed, enlightening.

Make me a channel of your peace. Where there is hatred let me bring Your Love. Where there is injury, your pardon, Lord. Where there is doubt true faith in you. Oh, Master, grant that I may never seek so much to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love with all my heart…
