Poem

ENLIGHTENMENT

Love is flowing through my body
Light has replaced my bones
I no longer sleep
I am awake
During the night
When the angels sing
They come to me
On ribbons of light
Shining with joy
Diamonds of light
Jesus appears
A holy flower
Shining power
His scent is grace
His face is lace
He sears my soul
With passion
I rise with the angels
I kiss the face of God
There is a holy dance
My soul is enraptured
Forever captured
By the Holy One
For whom my soul
Has yearned since birth
I shall not wait for heaven
Night has no power here
Sleep is but a dream
Eternal Wakefulness
Has come at last
Time has passed
Into timelessness
And I cannot stay
To say goodbye.
