New poem: "The Mystery of his Inner Light"

 

The Mystery of His Inner Light

 I witnessed a soul waking up tonight

to the mystery of his inner light, the way

of soul that will take him back home;

and what a joy it was for him to see

through the ultimate human mystery.

He talked like he was entranced, but

the trance he was in was the light within,

and he frowned in wonder that the way

out of the human predicament found

him in the redemptive power of his own

suffering; and by the look on his face,

it was obvious to me that he had been

cooked enough by life to be called to the

final surrender, which will take him the

rest of the way home when he relinquishes

his most precious possession to the divine

imperative of the light within.
