Self-Existent Light

Source of luminescence, perfectly bright
God Himself is the self-existent light
Radiating to us always, day and night
To reflect His image with great delight…

Having such light midst compassionate sight
We can show blest goodness and kindness-might
Defying obscurity of hate’s fright
Illumining us to choose what is right…

Lord, help me to shine with grace, that’s my plight
As I abide in

Self-Existent Light Poetry Contest

Where has all the illuminating light fled
Is as if I have long ago been dead
I have awakened to blinding darkness
I hear no more, no sound, only deafness
O'lord come back my heavy heart so grieves
This blackness this tragedy will it

Self Existent Light

I have lost my track, all around I see only darkness.
Is it because my eyes are blind folded or my sight impaired?
I grope and stagger, not knowing where my next step leads.
This miserable plight leaves me greatly despaired.

A thick veil has been drawn all about me,
Hindering my sight. What I see is ink blackness.
I wish

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,

Self-Existent Light

Clumsily checked for the switchboard to put on the light
whence I suddenly caught a ghost at mirror sight; 
Promptly like a lizard I hugged the wall really tight
which modestly stood startled toward my right;
Fretting and sweating I counselled my might 
for the sake of convincing the spirit dressed in white;
And somehow tactfully managed to flee

Self-Existent Light

Underneath the gunky brew
There is a concrete floor.
Underneath the floor
Lies 3 snappy alligators.
Inside each of those alligators
Is a soul
Twitching against death and survival.
Adjacent to the gator stands the gator hunter
Leaning against a parapet
Of lava rock and sea salt.

In the cottage,
Down a mile,
Hours later,
Gator meat and black-eyed peas
Were fed to 2 sooty children,
Whose  self-existent light's

Self-Existent Light

“We bear disparate lights. Faith and persistence fuel its glow.”
                 Quote by _ Poet


There's a glow in our chamber,
There’s a lamp in us,
Its light tunnels through our midnight,
Faith and persistence fuel its shine.

The light we carry,
Tarries in our slumber,

Self-Existent Light

We all have light inside us.
The good Lord put it there.
Sadly there are many
whose light they do not share.

Each person’s light will flicker
deep inside the soul.
Choosing to ignore it,
you cannot be made whole.

You never want to look into
the eyes of those whose light
died out (or never even flamed).
Their eyes are black as night.

We can’t expect

Self-Existent Light

Platos dualism… 
                         Laertius' "magi”
The most noble say we are an extraordinary event
And I agree with their logic and sentiment
An opportunity occurrence heaven sent

We are an awesome manifestation
We clearly embody an

Self-Existent Light

 
"Our seasons in life, like chapters in a book change, ebb and flow:
but, a light deep within us, though dim at times:  always exists."

                             

Self-Existent Light

“Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
in light inaccessible hid from our eyes”
quote from the hymn by Walter Smith (1867)


Self-existent Light …
      is wisdom without origin
      can be known in faith
      breaks the dawn with insight 

This Light Sans Space ...
 

Self-Existent Light

The luminous spectrum of the omnipresent light 
envelopes my self-obsessed essence unperceived. 
I devise the free-will precepts captivating the ego 
within the confines of the conjured self-deception.

As I saunter on the slimy slush of cardinal sin,
the stigma of murky derision debases the self,
the soul is stifled by the secret corrupt clutch, 
in penance I feel

Self Existent Light

Why depend on external things, when it's all within?
Your power, your radiance, and hope therein.
Navigate the highs and lows, without fear,
You're worthy, more than enough, let that be clear.

Rise up, open your eyes, and soar high,
You're the guiding star, lighting up the sky.
This special gift won't lose its shine,
Guiding you towards heights, so divine.

It brightens

Self-Existent Light

God knows
I’ve tried
To put it out
Doused it, stepped on it
Locked it in a dark place
Denied its shadow
Surrounded it
With mirrors
To blind its “self”.
And yet it shines
Screaming
Through the cracks
Of a timeless tomb
Whispering in the silence
Of denial’s din
And still I flee
The essence of
This “self-existent light”

Self-Existent Light

Soul’s self-existent light,
that’s made in God’s image
is veiled by our ego,
which by slowing thought flow,
we can here now forgo.

Soul’s self-existent light,
is what we truly are
but if we wish to see,
surrender paves the way,
that head and heart agree.

Soul’s self-existent light,
glistening like the dew,
glows in our heart centre,
where we can feel bliss beats,
urging us to enter.

Soul’s self-existent
