Shadows and light
Down by the river side
And I'm thinking of you again
You are my life
My loving wife
And it feels so different without you by my side
Eternal light
Eternal light
Dancing so daring
Shadows and light
In the cosmic vastness, stars weave dreams of eternal light,
The universe reveals its spontaneous perfection in silence,
Each moment is a window to infinities of desires,
Where the useful and the useless dance in circles of light.
Life is a mosaic of experiences laid upon time,
Expanding the horizon of the soul with each step taken,
In the desire to give, we discover true value,
For only contrast reveals the hidden essence within us.
The universe, a canvas of desires and dreams, shows its beauty,
Each atom vibrates in the eternal dance of energies,
To live is to tread the edge of the unknown abyss,
Feeling the wind of time caress the face with promises.
In the desire to understand, we lose ourselves, but in uselessness,
We find the value of being, mirrored in the pure desire to give,
In the silence between thoughts, perfection becomes a journey,
We dive into depths, seeking answers in silent stars.
We wish to give meaning to each moment, but truth comes,
When we cease searching and let life carry us,
In uselessness, we find the freedom to be, unconditionally,
And in the desire to give, we discover the open soul.
My crimson leaves fall reflecting generations of moonlight peace

Through the night, eternal light does gleam,
A beacon in the darkness, like a radiant dream.
In the shroud of night's deep embrace,
It guides us through, with gentle grace.
When shadows fall, and stars take flight,
Eternal light unveils the hidden sight.
With its tender glow, the path is clear,
Banishing doubt, alleviating fear.
Though darkness may loom, and storms may roar,
Eternal light shines evermore.
It whispers promises of a new day's birth,
Illuminating hope upon the Earth.
In the depths of despair, it's a steady hand,
A constant presence, forever planned.
Through trials and tribulations, it does lead,
An unwavering guide for all in need.
Through the night, eternal light does gleam,
A timeless source of hope, a radiant beam.
In its gentle embrace, we find our way,
Guided by its glow, we greet the day.
Eternal light shines so bright
Day or night we are in it’s sight
Steadfast love from above
Forever right ours to hold
Peering into the starkness
The veil of misty darkness
Calm assurance does attend
When all we do is pretend
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.

Temporal blinded,
by the lights;
His glory shines ever bright;
Magistrate Majesty
God's Alpha Father is life;
His glory shines more,
ever so bright;
God is eternal life;
Dissipates and explodes the darkness bright;
God is the Eternal light!

Epiphany
Slowly shifting winds of time
Blow through the outstretched arms
Upon a hill
Held in silhouette
Against an evening sky
To set the steel bound soul of Everyman,
Trapped
Within the rising towers
Dotting the dreamscape
With visionary signature –
The line of hope to take from Time
Its darkness and it chill –
Spinning
With hypnotic rhythms
Bound away from all the other
Spinning towers,
Captured in Isolation’s grip
Upon the windswept
Barrenness
And deserted hills of twilight,
Hanging onto the Dream
To rise above the Valley glow
And cradle in the hollows
Fragile Beacons
With Lines to gird the flowing hills,
Not to notice the one bright Star
Suspended in
Epiphany
Above the twirling Men
Who only sense its presence
In their dreamless sleep
But seek to bring
Back to earth
Light Eternal
By their Hallucined
Dance.

And the light beautiful lights shine on
And the light beautiful beautiful light shines song
Beautiful light shines long
Beautiful light is forever
It is bright so bright shine the light
It is bright so bright essence shine the light
Beautiful lights and if light shines forever lights
Beautiful light such beauty does shine
And the light never dims It shines
On and on on and on on and on
On and on on and on on and on
On and on on and on on and on
It shine shines all the way always
On and on on and on on and on
On and on on and on on and on
On and on on and on on and on on and on forever more
Less than shines the lights
Always shining bright
And the light is shines always
It shines and the light is always on
It shine always and always forever shines
The light episode bright and the light it shines forever
In the light is forever

From anthology "Lyrics to the Music of Kevin Kerns"
Ignorant was I my Lord
Dwelling in perpetual darkness
Without hope
Without dreams
Without perceiving a ray of light
Till
The calling of Your cherubic voice I heard
Coming from the depths of my soul
Which
Filled the inner void of my being with its sound
And
Led me to Your world of divine truth
Where
Eternal light is to be found!

I turn the lights a way down low;
pretend I hear the falling snow,
and in the flashing of a smile,
I wrap some presents for a while.
No child is in our home tonight.
The tree still glows with heavenly light,
as through the ages it has beamed
into mankind's Eternal Dream.
Janet Marie Bingham
Mystery was much better,
It was bit by bit some relation.
There was thinking,
There was feeling,
There was waiting.
Now nothing left except
Some unbearable unfitness.
Whom to I am weak
All sayings seems erring there.
Sometimes
Expression goes onerous,
Expression makes the end.
What else is new more?
Let me lit the light rather.
For me, for you too.

ETERNAL LIGHT
With a
tremor of light
a black and white filter
inks the nigrescent sky with the
Day star.
With peace and love
I kneel a lamb
possessed by the wolf
within my own darkness howls
A son of the Father
Bowing the head to his mercy
Grace in shame a sinner weeps
who bit from the forbidden fruit
Knowing it's agony
in the garden of life's sufferings
Seeking his forgiveness
Oh Most Holy Lord
Always you dwell God most high
Almighty inside the heart
Light of Our Creator
there is no good inside
Dark nights of a soul's pain
tears of remembrance
As you sit with me alone
I grow stronger in faith
Eternal light
Shines on you and i
Enriching the soul
And all that is
Grow towards
The heavenly glow
Bask
In the diamonds of energy
That empowers all life
On earth
Let it bathe you
With all its glory
A sturdy source
Shall consume the lands of time
It is
You are
All that is divine
You know
What will come of thee
Once your moment
Doth arise
Your once prolapsed ego
Shall seize
And neutralize
Mankind shall recreate
What mankind
Chose to forget
You shall do
What your forefathers did
Without much regret
For if thy purpose
Is ignored
You are sure to be the threat
And a loss of life
Is limninent
Time itself will stop.
