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
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…
