Sometimes I wake
And without even thinking
I will begin to write
A poem
About what I know not
At the beginning
It is something that
Line by line
Gets disclosed
Or revealed should I say
Unearthed, exposed
Shown the light of day
For the light is where
We are heading
The light, the light
We return to
Simple and bright
Everything
And everywhere
The light is what we are thinking
The light is what we are dreaming
Of in the darkest night
On the darkest days
And yet it is here already
All around
You can see it
Can you see it?
The light will guide us home
The light of the morning's song
Sometimes I stay awake at night
And thinking deeply
I will write
A letter
A letter to my friends
Known and unknown
A letter to humanity
In regards to our shared existence
In the letter
I will ask questions
And share views
Like
Have you ever felt that?
and
What are we here for really?
And no one will write back
They don't need to
Because I am part of every one
We all suffer and stumble together
We all lie in bed and toss and turn
Like pages in a book long ago written
Read and reread
Memorised even
And then forgotten
But not discarded
We flutter like pages in the wind
We are indecipherable
To the birds
Our follies
Our outrageous enactments
Absurd
Although they seem so...
So...
Important to us
At the time
But the sky isn't interested
The sea is impartial
The air keeps on giving
The land and trees that surround us
Protect us, regardless
Despite our pompous and vapid notions
Of what we should be doing
Our time wasting egos
Misguided
Our fighting
Our shouting
Our causes
Our fervour
All nothing, not really
Just time passing, slowly
Just noise, blood and folly
There always has to be something
But say, how about tomorrow
We try something different
And be loving
And left softness and kindness prevail?
Just a thought
Just a notion
We've all heard it before
But listen...
Hear the difference
When you go beyond the roar
Of needs, demands, expectations?
There's a whisper in the silence
That so gracefully implores us
To listen
To the solemn truth within us
To witness the light that is guiding
To feel the soul that is filling
Up
With
Love
Abundant
Share it, declare it, swim in it and dare it
To take you
To guide you in your journey
Take heart, oh weary
You battered, tattered
Roughed up
Saints
We'll all be leaving together
Hitch a ride now
While you can
The light, the light
Ssshhh.....
