Listen to poem:
Into the Divine Light
When the lemony balm of Sun arises, it's time to bring forth gratitude
we are given sight in order to see with our hearts the beauty of life
we are given hearts to feel the love that is given to us by others
we are given hands to touch the concrete gifts that God bestows
The truth of the moment is that no matter what we own or have
if we do not learn to appreciate the things that matter to us most
they will eventually fade into the dark brick slate of a closed heaven
then we will have no recourse to the things that we need most, LOVE
We have the power to change our thoughts and predispositions
our attitudes towards life and the Universe at large
If we don't allow change to change us and make us better people
then change will dim the light that was rightfully given for salvation's sake
When the sun rises today, say thankyou for the breath that saves
and when God lays the stones down and fixes the road you paved
you will not need a single thing of the things you once craved
and you will finally find the courage to live fully, and not cave.
