Illumination Poems

Premium MemberIllumination through cessation

Let’s lay to rest all doubts that grout,
rooted in conditioned belief,
that thus giving our soul relief,
we’re at peace as we go about.

Transforming as vast space itself,
recognising we’re all of this,
all nodes within suffused with bliss,
no desires remain on our shelf.

As God’s grace pours in from above,
our feeble form is energised,
objects no longer weighed and sized
and

Illumination Street

I have been traveling for more than a hundred and twenty days searching for the special lights that keep popping up in my nightly dreams and the beam that passes through the skies when the visitors walk by.

I have been searching for the road where the story has been told, but the ages have passed

Patterns

Patterns, of investigation,
Autumn starlings, murmuration,
Tidal sand wave, undulation,
Tectonic plates, foliation,
Evergreen fronds, forestation,
Rainbows of illumination,
Nature’s endless, fascination,
Science, our imagination.

The illumination of the soul

(A lone voice whispers)


As a person, you must know

Deep down 

You're part of one of the most spiritually 

Illuminating 

Literary movements there has ever been

A gift sent to you for self-expression from The Great In-Between 

A means to pull down old towers with new or old siege hooks

Open closed doors
By maybe writing a blog or

Unique You

Early to rise is for the sun,
To get its radiance high, 
Illuminating the earth with hopes,
Until nature is satisfied and done.

I've seen your tiredness, weariness,
And your readiness to give it all up,
Maybe you've forgotten
All that you represent and embody.

Your pain is for greater gain;
The joy you bring is sweeter than honey.
Like raindrops give abundant hopes

Premium Memberdelusion to illumination

dust stirs
oblivious to
God’s life breath
that makes it feel alive
so it struggles and strives
living in a make belief world
until one day dust enters silence
realising that in truth it never existed
all that always was and is, is breath of God

Illumination - TRI

Your music never fails to make
the stars go dancing in the dark.
The moon observes them wide awake,
and floods of light stream down the park.

The stars go dancing in the dark
and paint the sky in silver dyes
to sparkle and to mesmerize.

The moon observes them wide awake.
Then lightens up as if amused
to see celestials diffused.

And floods of

Premium MemberSea Glass: Illumination

A sea-faring vessel on Galilean 
Sea, fully dutied, dawn's a storm.
The ship's crew saw Christ walk 
on water -- disciples inclusive.

Peter bid to partake, Christ said, 
"Come." He beheld watery life 
'neath the becalm Sea Glass, and
his whole being walks over it, raises 
his inner glory to Christ's glory 
divine, voice of assurance.

The storm woke

A Reckoning Of Illumination

“A Reckoning of Illumination”

Autumn winds fall delicately upon my weary soul 

Light from a heavenly place surrounds my interpretation of the scripture 

Elemental hues of grace cascade down from the enlightened sky 

A mystical proposition of truth sets the somber filaments of inquisition ablaze 

As the Herculean sun lays bereft in the unforgiving atmosphere of

Premium MemberIllumination Elf

Illumination Elf has no idea about his gift
He knows he has a talent, right? Askes Rift.
I think so, but it is hidden right now.
It’s going to be something though, a great big wow.

Illumination Elf found his gift accidentally.
When he was left overnight beside an old oak tree.
The dark was scary, and he said I wonder

Premium MemberFrom delusion to illumination

our heart feels
incomplete 
so we strive

senses dictate
we look outward
deluded soul
finds no solace

we then turn inward
melding with silence
the false drops away
essence of presence
shines as living light

Illumination

It’s not a walk through the woods that soothes the troubled mind, 
It’s not the sinking sun that calms perturbed nerves, 
It’s not the tranquil night that brings hope, 
It’s not a walk by the sea that unloads the cluttered mind,
It’s not the rising sun that paints the day,
It’s not the trailing moon that opens

Illumination

In the midfall moment
we shine.

Shadows are cast
only to be illuminated.

Forever we are the unmasking.

This light of ours
needs a deep darkness
to be seen within.

Premium MemberDelusion To Illumination

false is each concept we cling to
conditioned by culture based belief
discarding then each vicarious knowing
dwelling in staid silence let’s turn a new leaf
 
to which delusion ego-held should we allude
we are not even this mind-body identity
made in God’s form, we’re living light 
the form is but a transient entity

driven by instinct, in deep stupor
flitting about
