What I See, What Matters to Me

I am not your light.
Neither do I have anything
whatsoever to do with your 
dance of darkness. 

God's love lights the way
to the Light that has ever shone,
held you close in its threefold heart.
Touch now your own

Heart and know therein
lies the flame of truth that has been
hidden from you as consumed
or were consumed

By that which seeks to
separate you from you. I know
not which devil came first for you.
Only that there

Have been many.
you have entertained. Did I not
say this long ago? And now know
this: if you choose

Life, I will share 
my gifts from where I am. Life is
for giving. In time I may be
as well. As for

You, you are well.
Seeing perhaps through a haze all
that comes clear, choose to see yourself
after so long now

Rightly. Walk by
faith. Know you never walk alone
but always with the One who runs
to meet you where

You are. I am
not meant to walk beside you now.
Yet, I am willing as able
to shine my light

And trust that it
may spark some other light so that
you may see, be set free from chains
in which you bound

Yourself because
you harbored hatred for the soul
I have loved through time. It is time.
Speak truth. Choose love.

Believe light remains
and ask to be shown light in you.
This work remains. And it is what
matters to me.
