The Invitation of Dawn
i cannot live any longer
in the halfway
between two kingdoms
to live in the twilight zone
of eternal dusk
or the eternal dawn
hear the promise of the kingdom of light
cross over
to this
Your kingdom fully
look
look out and see
approaching dawn
perpetual dawn
i see light, i know it’s there….
and long for its to coming
i see enough of the darkness
to fear it
fear the dread of living
in the darkness
sit in self-made homes
turn on my temporal lights
to ward off the eternal darkness
never truly coming
to the full light of the
kingdom of God
why
afraid
to leave familiarity
the known
to cross the desert into the kingdom of light
no retreat
to go back to the darkness
an experience
a dawning of the light
YET
in the
perpetual dawning
it’s not all there is
there is a full rising of the light
if i would but go there
cross the desert
leave behind all i am
all i knew
all i could become
in the world of darkness
stand in the twilight darkness…
…look behind
see
the truth
the dense darkness
the night
is there desire to
go back
…live in the night
or
go forward
…live in the day
false temporal
man made lights
burn out
leaves the night
always the darkness
existence of fear
of lights going out
Jesus, You…are the Light
in Your kingdom
Your light
is perpetual
complete
the Light
of the Eternal Day
fully come
do i dare cross
