Embodying The Light

Each day seems to be an endless delight.
Like rains of monsoon fullness flow and flood
Rainbows of optimism enchant my sight.
A world of hope is seen in each new bud.

There's an unknown stir in my inmost soul.
A sunbeam silently enters my shrine.
A weird whirl curls and furls my hidden goal.
Like gold in the sun, my heart and mind shine.

New blood of change flows through new flesh and veins.
Physique and psyche seem to gain new birth.
The environs are in mirth, freed of pains.
As grace of the divine pervades the earth

Embodying the Light

Light is a linear beam of photons
particles streaming from there to here
emanating from an emitter's ions
inflamed by energy's cheer.

A golden glow at dawn imbibes
the world with enlightened grace,
christening the dark matter with vibes
that the light begins to trace.

For light itself has no body
It's an ether, a will o' the wisp
seeking to seep within and embody
a glow of reflection, bright and crisp.

Objects enlightened, cast a shadow
A reminder of the eternal darkness
that befalls all who lie beyond the glow
or beyond time, and fate's starkness.

As children of the Light of the World
We're like bright sun for others, we shine
We’re made to share the truth of His words
Guided by His wisdom, so divine.

Holy Spirit dwells and empowers
At fervor prayers and meditation
We feel God’s presence and power
Spiritual breakthrough to acclamation.
 
Letting His light sit in our heart’s throne
No darkness but courage amidst the storms
And be physically sound down the bone
When spiritual health brightens and reforms.

Embodying the Light

A hidden flame reveals its light,
Truth, imbibed in quiet fire.
It whispers in the dead of night,
Our bones do tremble with such fire.

This truth awaits assimilation,
In dreams, we taste revelation.
Our souls are bound to meditation,
In time-dissolved meditation.

Our minds adrift in dark despair,
Old echoes stir in silent gloom.
We wander, lost without repair,
As midnight drapes the rose in bloom.

Yet hope emerges through the pain,
A phantom grace adorns our sight.
In sorrow's depths, we break the chain,
Embodying the light so bright.

Embodying the Light

My bones, my mind, my love doth know
For the sun’s light come after the crow
Of a rooster proudly doing his duty
Rising each morning, to a new beauty

Colors dance and leap across the sky
I wake to the noise I need not reply
Let me sit and ponder
The forest in my mind I wander

Sit in the stillness, the peace of morne
I have no felt this since the day I was born
Let time become slow and the seconds pass by hours
Stop and smell the roses, smell the flowers

There's a sacred sanctuary in my soul,
a secluded realm only God can read.  
I absorb light like the sun's rays of gold,
illuminating my heart when I've the need.

There dwells the truth to the depth of my core.
deeper than the marrow inside my bones. 
A radiance impossible to ignore,
shining brightly when I pray in undertones.

Swiftly, it flows in me when I meditate,
focused on the reason to take my next breath.
My faith is refueled and I contemplate
the irrelevant dread of mortal death.

Embodied light does not dim in the dark.
It's spiritual strength cannot be disputed
God ignites in me the kindling of a spark,
so brilliant so as not to be refuted. 

It can't be called inconsequential or trite.
Enlightenment is found, not with eyes alone
It radiates within us to zenith height
with the magnetic power of a loadstone.

Embodying The Light

In the wasteland of the deserted life,
chasing mirage of life in confusion,
I walk on the tormenting trail of strife,
suffering, I submerge in delusion.

In the network of intricate design,
layer on layer, mind is stratified.
Strata of existential truth align,
in psychic chaos they aren’t codified.
 
The facets of sole veracity hide
within the unaware mind’s secret folds,
can’t be traced by the being from outside,
discreet sense of shallow self hardly holds.

Repressed essence tangled by frustration,
listens in time to the call from within,
looks for pathway of dissociation,
as meditation plays soul’s violin.

As truth supreme emerges from deep time,
embodied light in existence recess
turns into the divine insight sublime,
harmonized with devout self-awareness.

Embodying the Light

Lone 'neath the weeping willow dark, 
The lies we spoke, in whispers sown, 
Scarred the blackened bark,
That all may see and groan. 

Begot in shade the woe and pains, 
That climb and twist through iron roots, 
Forming our bondage chains
Of deadly dark disputes. 

Speak! Speak! Cried the girls and boys, 
In weeping mud, and wailing rain.
Alas there was no noise,
In the darkness: deaf and vain. 

Yet hear the bell’s cheer!
Revealed in the warm sun,
A spectacle all shall hear, 
When the light has won. 

Love! Love! Sang the children and men,
Through breathing grass, in dancing glades.
Love! Love! Piped the doves and wrens,
In the light: where truth is made.

So echo the love and joy of light, 
Sing the hymns of peace it shines,
Lest all, in truth, rise to fight,
For Light, the visage most divine.

Embodying the Light

Within your heart, a brilliant glow
A sacred flame, let it grow
Shine forth kindness, love, and grace 
Light up this dark and lonely place

Radiate warmth to all you meet
Illuminate every single shadowed street
Be the beacon that guides the way
Turn night into an enlightened day

Your inner light can change the world
In our hearts, hope is tightly curled 
Waiting for a spark to fan ablaze
Setting the skies alight as heads begin to raise 

So embody the light in all you do
Let goodness shine in all you pursue 
For you are the star that burns so bright 
Forever chasing away the night

Embodying the Light

     Light withdrawn
     Expands again
       approaches dawn
       clucks the hen

    Constellations fade
    Skies o’erspread   
       glory arrayed
       chickens fed

    Rising sun
    Prayers bespake  
      omelets done
      tastebuds awake

                     Quote by Unseeking Seeker
 

Merging, blending, assimilating life's truth,
fusing it into my spirit, absorbing;
this the way of my inner mind in mused youth,
that thinking like brittle bones decomposing.

And then, I found pondering meditation,
falling into a profound reverie trance;
in sleeplike states finding my re-creation,
oh, it was a swaying, divine, sublime dance.

My thinking began to scatter and detach,
I needed to find my glowing inner light;
and in contemplation came a light unmatched,
I soak it up ... drinking this beautiful sight.

The soul of the area around 
from the shadows that stretch long.
Sings a wishful from the ground
when it sings a melodious song.

The light coming from the shadows 
brightening the area around the bend.
It makes visible in the light of glows, 
then the soul of that earth sings and glows.

The light shines on the tree limbs,
and on the trunk from which they grow.
The light touches the ground on the bend,
is something that is anything but pretend.

The light though soft and honest
hangs from its home from above.
Brings the area a solid promise,
as it feels the surrounding air with love.

Man's Advocate, Christ, returned to heaven's gates
yet, earth's need for Light remained paramount.
God had planned remedy which illuminates
man's body and soul from within like a fount.

Thus dwells seeds of truth in all those who embrace
God's Spirit, causing man's spirit to be stirred.
Light makes Himself known and His raw truth we taste,
digested daily from the truth in God's Word.

With prayer, conscience matures and converys
nourishment for a new diet of service.
Reproof brings discipline when our spirit strays
feasting with him who vainly tries to swerve us.

Wisdom absorbed into its mind, soul and frame,
our being can bring glory to our Maker;
with thoughts, words, deeds that proclaim His holy name -
three-fold - Creator, Savior and Caretaker.

For its worth in forgiveness and redemption,
our faith is sustained to the endpoint of sight
when we join our Christ at the doors of heaven
hearing, "Well done, you've broadcasted My Light."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

the forest’s trees, though asleep, at twilight
they silently seek the stars who softly weep
glorious oaks with their gentle leaves so bright
laugh and tell tales of the mountains so steep

in the forest I glimpse a fanciful tune
written by the moss, the pines and the stones
hesitant winds lift the birds as they croon
against lazy shadows the river condones

at the edge of the world, where the pines sigh
there is a wonder unheard – still that abides
flying through the night, across a black sky
glad to know the grace that only love provides

midst the wildflowers, dancing in the fields
grows a melody so clear it cheers the soul
autumn’s breath defies the shower who yields
gifting forest’s captive with certain parole

in the light of still, unmoving musings
soars the ancient belief of those lost in praise
when the night falls, hearts collect their losings
glowing on the night is love that never strays

EMBODYING THE LIGHT

EMBODYING THE LIGHT

The light that is now within
Was once without, I recall
It entered and dispelled sin
Just as if it had forgiven all

Yet perhaps it was a dream
Such as is the stuff of myth
Yet welcome it would seem
And I shall tell all forthwith

I know it was for others too
With those stories often told
The key effect was to renew
Faith at least like liquid gold

Light that now shines in me
Is an inspiration I can share
Almost with a new identity
Show humility and prepare

Even if this were never real
Nothing ever contemplated
Something special I can feel
Now I am quite illuminated
