👉 A Light

There is Light, if we can find it,
That dissolves the night that cloaks a troubled heart.
It is the Sun that slowly rises,
And in its Light, the night is gone.
There is a Silent Place, when we can find it,
Not in some distant city or foreign town.
It’s here, not very far away,
Just within reach of our awareness, now.
There is Love, that’s waiting for us,
That fulfills, even erases, our greatest desire,
For It, and It alone, is the object of our affections,
Not some fickle lover, but a fiery Joy, that lifts us higher.
To see! To be! That is the all of what we seek.
The price is high; forsaking our personal sense of wanting;
But for this sacrifice, a new world is revealed.
In which this inner Light alone, yearns to know Itself.
When we’ve mastered all the rules that guide us.
Even these must fall away, as stages in a rocket ship,
On a journey that takes us beyond this world
To another, not far away, but here within us now.
