Light
Light crashing on black memories
That creep in empty corridors of a
Mind transfixed on truth
though deception flirts then hurts
and sometimes lingers
Beams of light find hidden caves where
Anguish once lived exposing tender wounds
No longer raw but vulnerable enough to open
This light shines and shows a reflection
Of who I’m supposed to be and blinds me
To who I used to be so blaring and beaming
That the past succumbs
and Now I touch
A soft beginning..so soft like the sun muted
On a cloudy morning..nearly invisible but
It’s there because I’m here
Engulfed in this magnificent radiant
Love drenched light…
Exposed front and center and not
Afraid of what I’ll see because
illumination cradles answers
the mysteries of emotions buried
And turned upside down
the questions
So many questions
The why of trauma
The how come of drama
the wishing to do it all over
but hating the lure of darkness
But this Light
This incredible merciful passionate light
Brilliant enough to light the World
Bold enough to crush the night
Close enough for me to Hold
And gentle enough to open eyes
slammed shut for fear of what I’d see
This Light
This bold brilliant Kingdom Light
Jesus
The light of the World
