Be Light

Spirit can only be    where body be
as cleaved together they be
   ‘til body’s breath     does cease
   and breath of soul     release.

Yet, among some
‘tis mused and gossiped: 
Though there be limits
   of rigid body space
so imposed    by Nature’s laws

Perhaps     perhaps     maybe    
and yet perhaps    a soul    may-can-drift
above beyond     the skin    the blood of earth

to fly free    free fly     
   dip and soar    into that space
   that above    where eagles fly
And see    where no edges be...

That all     where all be one     in a space timeless
   that where place    of all    becoming
all held    together
in the one     command of     
Let there be light.
