Inner Light Unquenchable

Inner Light

Unquenchable

Glows and variegates

Into beautiful

Free patterns

Upon the screen

Of life

Venturing beginner

Into realms of

Giants' sounds

I am. 

Would that you would

Take my hand,

At least at first,

Until my ears

And fears

Adjust, 

Mature.

Shrinking shadows mezrmerize

Blinking dawns atone.

The sparkle of a baby's eyes

On love's behalf, alone

Brings pause to struggle and delays

And stills the rush of days,

Brings praise for what

We had and have

Allows our hearts to soar,

As we recount our many joys

And sing forevermore,

It's our place, our shore;

But had we another life,

Another taste and chance

To ignore life's tiresome strife,

We could love and share and dance,

Embrace our joy up to the rim,

Enhance each day to its very brim!

How far does light travel

In a single year?

I feel its passenger

I’ve been,

Visitor in

Some outer, inner reaches.

Trembling on the rim

And back again

To Time.

To be re-birthed

Miraculously still

Undestroyed by him,

And so – I begin~

Reverenece

Grew like petals

Of a daisy,

From within.

The outward

Expression

Of the inner growth.

Purple shadows

Softly inch

Across the floor,

Through the shades.

A door ajar

Entices exploration

Beyond this

Easy room in which

No gloom invades

Its glory.

No sorrow dare disturb

Its quiet sanctity

Where love abides

And peace pervades.

Yet nothing

Stays the same,

Where life resides

No single name tells all

Its story.

You're my first thought every morning.

Quietly there.

You follow me through my day

And share

My every breath.

You're a poignant presence

Giving magic meaning

To my everything,

Making out of sounds and rhymes,

Songs I silently sing.

You're gooseflesh

And the tarantella

In my mind.

You're eccentric, you're fantastic,

You're poetic and you're kind.

Your value never hides.

You're wholeness, you're completion,

You're my missing half.

To stimulate my mind,

You also make me laugh.

Some day, some way

You will know

How precious you are to me.

I'll show you all my

Secret self

Where love itself abides.

            Curtains drawn aside

                      For light

                  Reveaing that

                    They hide

                   Imagination

                       Only.

I've been among the many

And been among the few

I've sounded out their souls

As best I could

And all I really know, as yet

Is me and you.

But that makes - two!

Just as it should!

                                Veiled, life proceeds openly,

                                       Concealing nothing,

                                       Revealing essence,

                                             Whole, holy ~

                                       Changeless change,

                                  It moves lovelier, being seen

                                    Through darkened glass.

                                        Obstructing viewer,

                                            Not the view,

                                           Distorting seer,

                                            Not the seen.

                                  Simply moves by moving.

                                                      We grow by living.
                                             We know by being all we are.

When and where
Are here and now.
And how
Is simply..
This!

I begin

Again. 

Is not everything

Beginning?

The path

Is circular.
