Self-Existent Light

Self-Existent Light Beyond the sight of imagination, Invisible of alpha and omega, Unseen your non-existent borning daystar Glory and splendor collide, Pure sinew of sublimity Source of ceaseless heartbeats Flame without source, Robed in resplendence. No vacuum! No space for ebony! No consummation! No cradle! . Divine edgeless clarity Perpetual renewal of resplendence - Wholeness illuminated, Spring of radiance Eternity’s original mystery Needing neither tinder nor spark Light – essence of the Eternal Eternally coupled fission and fusion. Fleshless eternal incandescence Uncontainable virginal day Infinite dynamo of electric brightness, Ceaseless and incorruptible, Self-contained chalice Of always, Chrysalis of incensed endless fuel Shines from within Perfection. Pure light Pure love Pure font Undimmed Eternal 6-8-23 Contest: Self-Existent Light Sponsor: Unseeking Seeker

"Eternity’s original mystery/ Needing neither tinder nor spark/ Light – essence of the Eternal/ Eternally coupled fission and fusion." How beautifully you have expressed the radiance of the inner light that has no beginning nor end ! Your poem sparkles.... ! The elan vital that is eternal and needing no external combustion cannot be presented in a better way. Great penning, dear Sam. Congratulations !

Thank you so much Lasaad! Your feedback is so reassuring as I struggled to articulate poetically this simple concept of light that needs no fuel, has always existed and has no beginning and no end. Thank you for that gift. Sending you blessings my friend!
