Before Dawn: An Afterword

Tomorrow begins a new cycle in our world. In any darkness, seek the light within, a reflection of the love of God at work in you to the degree you allow it. Innocence is never lost unless we allow it. I hope some of the poems I have shared here have been a gift in some way. Any future poems will be shared from my website. Thank you.

From the very first lifetime
of our conception I came
bearing seeds of purity

Held for eons. Why? To show,
to demonstrate clearly for
those who have eyes to see and

Who choose to see willingly
that truth outlives a lie, that
love and honor for self and

Other can rise above all
arrows thrown. This morning well
before dawn angels called me.

They had me stand in center
of a circle and receive
all that I sacrificed

In order to fulfill my
small role in destiny—full
exposure of devil’s game

Without need to defame or
list, as I was given power
to do, all your sins hung out

Like so much dirty laundry.
I was given choice before
I came to be. I chose love—

For you, for me, for others
energy of evil held.
Too tired now to say if

I would do it again. Still,
new creation may begin
in earnest thanks to this small

Gift and so many others
made by so many... some who
did not survive the tumult.

Before Dawn there was One
Light in which we and many
others danced together and

Remembered who we are and
are ever becoming—Love.
And now I have been set free

Not only to feel the joy
and wonder I have carried
within me but for it to

Sing in harmony with whole.
This too is for you to know.
An Age of Aquarius,

Yes—But more! So so much more!!
My heart’s desire remains as
it has ever been, for Life

To begin and then begin
again.
