Close to Your Light

~

The polishing of mystical Gold in our tarnished world

~

~~~

~

Grief 

is a sadness that washes us clean

as Kindness is a polish

that burnishes the Soul

and returns us to Gold...

~

Polish the mirror

from every darkened rust

and taste the nobility

of who we once were,

and who we might still become...

~

~

Chivalry

brings us closer to His Light

there is no lack of Beauty

in the courage 

that draws us near

~

Keep reaching

and working

towards the kiss of Closeness 

~

...The golden knight

is a servant

of a brave and Merciful

embrace

one that holds steady 

with mystical strength

in every journey 

as we unfold

toward Him...

~

Unfolding toward closeness

hidden 

within a kiss of Light.

Artistry~ The Earth is Shaped by Wind, Water, and Light

~ ~~~ ~

~

This is a world of movements

the spiral of seasons and on~flowing tides

it is the Breath of Creation

that brings us the winds

the shape shifting waters

the glittering light

~

And yet, within the bones~

the deep and holy roots

of this earth and this given life~

there is a stillness that is shaped

like the space between words

that beautiful silence that rests between Names

~

And still, the angels spill through their light 

a whisper of grace

barely a touch

or footstep

or glance

and still we dream

of healing the world

~

The sea flow

waterfalls

night winds

the endless pouring of light

 shaping the stones of land

into a quiet language

 that we must also learn to speak 

~

There is no end to the sullied noise

the hungered movements of men

who betray their source

of Dignity and Truth 

~

Return to Me

come back to the stillness

of the quiet earth

~

...listen to the elements sing

in a quiet language

the songs of merciful breath

carving sanctuaries of silence

between branch, cloud, and star

~

 An Artistry

is shaping the music

with each exquisite note

unveiling Him

~

The guardianship of stillness

at dreaming rest within 

as all the worlds are breathing 

these quiet notes of Light

while He is Shaping

Creating

His Beautiful Names

The Ruins of Beauty~ The Mirror World

~

~ ~~~ ~

~

As the mirroring world loses its grace

the Majestic forelock is loosened  

and in the untailored breadth

of unharnessed Gifts

a darkness runs wild

unhampered, unrestrained.

~

The Names flow to us

like water through earth

and each breathing wind

that shapes the Holy

into mantles of stone

and the elements of Life.

~

The Mirrors of Creation

are spilling their beautiful Light

upon each Knowing

and each Returning

as the motions of Love

become complete.

~

But not all Names bring ease

There are Beauties that are Ruins

like a spillage of war

a bare memory of Grace

~

Find a place of transparency  

and rest in its lace

a flow of nourishing waters

will restore a balance of Beauty

to each and every war-darkened space

~

Our bones have knowledge

to hold onto Life,

take my hand

and I will take yours~

together we will taste healing

and the beautiful mirrors of Mercy

 that are sown into this world.
