Light seems brightest when seen in the darkest dark.
Yet darkness can be all but eliminated by the brightness of light.
When in a balanced contrast, each is often seen clearer.
Although their differences when compared are quite stark,
Both darkness and light have the potential to provide great insight.
Each has qualities that can make things seem dearer.
Once while meditating on a bench in the park,
I had a sensation of my soul taking flight.
Wisdom and Truth suddenly seem nearer.
Through space and time, I flew like a lark.
I tried to remain there with all my might.
Guided by the light, I wasn’t the steerer.
From darkness or light, the Truth we’ll still see.
Truth is at home inside both you and me.
Guiding us through life to our destiny.
There’s no one here; break the mirror
God alone is, the all there is
Love and light is the true shearer
Sparking in heart, rapture’s bliss fizz
The path is easy, make thoughts slow
There’s no one here; break the mirror
Innocence then reveals its glow
Truth about Self becomes clearer
Surrender: God is soul’s steerer
Let the flag of love be unfurled
There’s no one here; break the mirror
Know earth life is but a dream world
God is the light that lights all lights
Soften touch that love draws nearer
Light the lamp of bliss that delights
There’s no one here; break the mirror
*The Sea*
Blue and deep, home for some wish for others,
A lot soul lost in it; The Coward The Coward less,
The Brave and The Unscrupulous Adventurer
Blue and deep, the cause of Royalty to some
slavery to others, with a hierarchy of The Captain,
The steerer, The Hauler, Other deck masters and the sailing men
Giver of Endurance, Limit able satisfaction,
great discipline, over Jolly, sailing is living in a perfect view .
Blue and Deep home for some wish for others
