Let There Be Light

The greatest minds are mocked and heckled, but are usually right. The greatest knowledge, is usually found, in the simplest places. Dreams if not a catalyst, to initiate the revelation of truth; often contain the truth. Look within for the golden chalice; the legendary “Grail”; you’ll find it wrapped in the “golden fleece”. Wisdom is gleaned in flight across the veil; no soul, seeking light, is abandoned to the dark. Mind comes from mind, returns to mind, lives in mind. The enlightened never use the word, can’t. If “ignorance is bliss”, skeptics must be the happiest creatures on Earth. The gift of denial never pays to light one single candle. Light is provided free, to the open mind; the greatest minds are the wires, through which, the human batteries are charged; universal mind initiates the transfer. The light in the darkness, the dreams that come true, should never be doused by the waters of ignorance.

" Know Thyself" was the maxim of God Apollo: God, of music, poetry and eloquence. For the truth has been placed in the kernel of our being, our soul! Your poem helps to direct the reader within for to enable him to see the eternal! Great work dear M.L.K.!

A somewhat surreal over the edge mixture of emotions and truths that speak volumes of the author's heart. Emile.
