the spirit rises high to eternal light
all creation that we’ve merged with
is transformed in space and time
there a silent ringing that echoes
as an alarm clock in our mind
it’s time to stop and be here
and present to whatever we might find
light recognizes light
for all light is from the same source
darkness is swallowed by the rising sun
and is freed receives a higher force
and in between the interludes
of lifetimes in dark and light
we carry the purpose of our being with us
held close in the silent moments of our life
