The road I travel
Seems ever bound for darkened sky
Though the curve ahead
Suggests reprieve
So I stay the course
Hope good fortune
Diverts me once again
To better light

Xavier Rudd
Love fills him
Overflows
A river
A gentle flood
Of love
Washes over me
Over all of us
Fills us
Intoxicant
His smile
Radiant
A broadcast ecstacy
Writ across his face
An unfathomable beauty
Of being
Filled with love
I remember
Being filled like that
Being love
Being grateful
For every moment
In every moment
I remember
Being flawed
Knew I was flawed
Still, I was full with love
I remember
Being in pain
Debilitated by suffering
Still, I was full with love
I forgave the flaws of others
Because love forgave my own
While I worked to repair them
I empathized with the pain of others
Because love allowed me to feel my own
While I followed a healing path
So I thank him
Up on the stage
This beaming intensity
Of beautiful light
As I sing the refrains
As I sway
To the rhythms of the music
To the flow of his love
To this man
This beautiful man
Who is not without faults
Who is not without pain
Yet is filled to overflowing
With love
I thank him
For the reminder
That I can be filled with love
That I can be love
Without first making myself
Perfect
Because I have been
Before
Because in this moment
I am again
A Better Light
Old Sol burned a hole in the sky
Igniting the wake of our flight
We sailed on
Into the night
Into the darkness
With the hope a new day
Would bring a better light
Resolve ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #369
Sometimes the light
Inexorable
Calls out
All I need
Acknowledge
Become the light
Sometimes the light
In darkness
Seek it
All I need
Resolve
Shed the darkness
Lingering
I lingered there
For humble light
And crescent moon uncloaked
The sun now bedded for the night
Its glory past
While beauty lingered still
Now a moment of repose
If only in my mind
The day it lingers too
Then home to bed
Soon lingering in dreams
With that I join the sun
Tumble
Tumble
Tumble
Tumble down
From the light
Into the chasm below
There to roil
In the miasma
And darkness
The flume
Goes on and on
And I all along
Do keep my head above
Then exit
Into a wider course
And calmer water
Now swim for shore
Clamber up to land
Breathe a heavy sigh
Glow ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #367
River of light
Flows along the shore
Red and white hot
In the sky
An amber sea
Stars washed up on its shore
In my heart
In my spirit
The warm glow
Of love
For all that is
For all who are
For all I am
The Welcome Flood of Emptiness
Occluded
Clouded
My mind a storm of thoughts
Breathe
Stillness
Empty myself
Of past, present and future
Of fear, desire, need
In the quiet
A softening
Becomes a glimmer
Becomes the light itself
Flooding the plain
Of my existence
Which at first
Seems wasteland
Breathe again
And the waste becomes barrenness
Breathe again
And the barrenness becomes emptiness
Detached
From time and material things
I learn the beauty of emptiness
Which I fill
With this moment
Fire ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #364
Fire on the horizon
Engulfs my little craft
So I turn away
A beacon
Calls from the darkness
But the call comes from rocky shoals
Its light is false
I risked wrecking on the shores of distraction
So turn the boat again
Into the fire
And the true light beyond which set it
Shift Change
The change comes
From full light
To a beacon
In the coming darkness
Scant illumination
But enough to see me
Through night’s passage
With faith for
A new day coming
On calm seas
