The Growing Light

I rest
My head
Against
The sun as
Winter’s mouth
Leans in
Against
My face
Biting for
A short second
It melts
Away in
My mind.

I’ve gone deaf to the world.

Yet
It isn’t
Silence that
Creates
Stillness but
The eternal calm
Within that
Reaches up and
Touches
The center of
This moment and
In this
Moment
I feel
The present
Tense of
Wisdom’s tears
And in
My most
Humble of
Tones
I speak—
I am blessed by being.

My eyes
Surrender to
Truth as I
Look up to
See
The light
Shining
Down on
My heart and
Though
Illuminated—
It casts a shadow.

Behind
My heart
Stretches
A dark
Hue of
Hope and
I am
Reminded of
Memories of
Transcended
States of
The shifting
Conscious
Awakening of
My being—
I am
Expanding as
The contrast in
My life grows

Yet—
There is
No darkness
But for
The contrast of
Light and
In light I
Came into
Being hearing
The first
Beat of
My heart
And as
My beating
Fades
The last beat will
Roll away into
The shadows and
Inside
A new light
Will be born

And my
First sounds
Will be that of
A melody and
My first sights
Will be that of
Pure light

And I
Will be
The forgotten
Truth—
No pain
No suffering
No shifting of
Conscious
Being—
No shadows to
Recalls

I am of source.

I am neither
Here nor
There—
In being
I am
I am
I am

Breathing in
This truth—
The chill bites back

Winter holds for
Now so I
Hold onto
The light and
Love it
Now

Love
The contrast of
Light’s
Expansion into
The heart of
All humanity

Soon our
Shadows will
Fade.

Winter will
Give itself
Over to
Rebirth

There is
No greater
Shadow than
Before
Spring’s
First bloom

So
I will be
Still in
The present
Moment and
If I
Drift I
Just follow
The shadows
Home to
The source of
All being—
The light
Outlines
The darkest
Edges of
The conscious
Shifting of
Being

The light within
Outshines
The external
Light from
Above

We are of
The source that
Brought all
Into
Being even
The shadow of
Winter
Bows to
The transformation of
Life when
Faced with
The growing
Light—
We are the growing light.

I Feel my
Heart beat as
I lay
My hand against
My chest and
Tap along to
The sound
Remembering
That it beats
The constant—
It beats
The renewal of
Truth
Shining from
Within—

We are the growing light
Transforming from within

From with
In
From with
In
From with
In

We are the growing light
Transforming
From with
In
