poem 94

"when my eyes were opened

there was a great light

that peaked into eternity

and warped my sight

I could see the future

I could see the past

I could see the sand below me

turn into grass

what is this light

that swirls in place

it started speaking

but it had no face

it spoke sweetly

and my heart melted

this feeling of joy

I've never felt it

what is this love

that is so warm

when I looked up at the light

it began to transform

it shot into my chest

I was filled with spirit

this light which was inside me

I could hear it

echo through me

and heal me

this is how I was made

this is the real me."
