Leseprobe

Angel and Soulmate

An angel sent from above

to complement my heart.

Warm brown eyes filled with love,

of my soul the better part.

Mate to my incomplete soul

Sent to fill my heart with love,

Our souls together—one complete whole.

An angel sent from above.

My Soul Cries Out

My soul cries outto you, O Lord,my refuge and strength.Temptations prick melike fiery thorns.Guide me, Lord,In the right path.Strengthen me with resolveguide me in resistancethose darker impulses,that I might keepto the path ofSpiritual wellbeing.

Questions from the Heart of Darkness

Isolated, sitting, reflecting,

searching the deepest inner soul—that heart of darkness.

Asking myself the hard questions:

“Am I the man I so deeply wanted to become?

“Have I done right by my family?

“Have I shown I love my neighbor as I love myself?

“Have I truly been all I can be?

“Have I been the best possible me that I can be?”

Answers from the Heart of Lightness

Sitting in quiet meditation,

plumbing the depths of the inner soul for the answers.

Calmly searching that heart of lightness,

epiphany strikes deep within my very being.

“I’m a work in progress—incomplete.

The answer lies in the future, not for me to know.

“All I can do is strive to become

the man of honor, dignity I hope to become.

“My answers lie far in the future

and are not for me to know—they will come when they come.”

Darkness into Light

Besieged

by inner darkness.

Drawn, pulled, dragged

down

into the darkness.

Rage defiance

at the darkness!

Take a cleansing

breath,

contemplate the blesséd Light.

Draw, invite, welcome

the blesséd light.

Embrace

the blesséd

Light.

The Soul’s Nullification

My existence is but an emanation—

descending from the light of the All in one—

my soul is but a shadowy illumination.

Just as light emanating from the sun

ceases to exist within the solar orb,

within its source visible light is undone

My soul, before its source becomes absorbed—

my very existence becomes nullified

I am naught but a shade before the All in one.

With Him, in unity, my soul seeks to abide.

Before Him my soul seeks to be nullified.
