Eternal Light

Stars disgorge energy in waves by fissile pulsations Equally in all directions, but do not call it darkness Where those come not our way. Darkness is A matter of perspective. A rainbow of photons ignites our neural lanterns; Globes in 3D to navigate the pitch, the default state. You and I stand in the same primordial darkness As “In the beginning….” The light is within, and only. However, the physics of light does not illuminate The Way, The Truth and The Eternal Light, for it is not Of the making of stars, but of the One who made The stars. Souls, carrying light as once the living carried, Follow an ancient Course shrouded in a mist of tears, To be reborn into the Light as it was before the Fall, Like one emerging from a cave through a waterfall.
