The Day

The Day

The day grew ever brighter

Eclipsing the dark of night

Until the thought of dark and light

Had faded from our view

Ushering in a time of peace

Where life began anew

An ever-expanding sense of joy

In peaceful comprehending

The love that lives within all hearts

This transformed view attending

This level of joy

This sense of peace,

Is almost overwhelming

Releasing the fear of visions so dear

At last are drawing near

Reaching for tools

Laid by long ago

Whose function now becomes clear

To take down the walls

Within which I’ve lived

To further comprehension

Of all that I see

In you and in me,

Releasing the tension

That held them in place,

restricting the pace

of my progress toward higher existence.
