Gravity of Light

Imagine pillars of sunlight streaming in
through a canopy of leaves overhead.

You look up and bathe in a beam
wide enough to illuminate your face
while slowly letting the layers of identity fall away.

Eventually, only awareness & the warmth of sunlight remain
comingling before merging.

There is another kind of light beyond the physical:

A luminous nirvana of that created everything in creation,
including you.

There are countless ways to arrive at this inner clearing,
all as natural as going for a walk in a sunlit wood.

Slowly but surely, consciousness opens a channel
capable of receiving the shining force of creation.

Then we begin to see the world with brighter eyes
that transfigure the finite forms of fabricated reality
into a prismatic field of vibrating pixels
eagerly awaiting to televise
our highest dreams and noblest ideals.
