LIGHT ON THE PATH

The relationship of waking to sleeping is characterized by light. The blessing of darkness is that it carries light into the deepest part of our being. We enter the light together and know each other intimately while we are there. Outwardly we are enshrouded in the darkness of night.

 

The angel-being within us travels across the farthest reaches of time and space, the darkest abyss, to fill our hearts and hands with love. In time he wants his song to come from our lips. He wants to waken with you – he wants you to let him take your side.

 

The path I take through life is not the one I think, the one which appears in the ordinary light of day. The real path is lit by the angel-being. It has within it the distance he has travelled. It has the light we’ve shared together when darkness enshrouds us. This angel-being was there from first to last, he’ll be there when the round world’s fully passed.

 

Angel

 

The angel-being has swept the wide abyss

and scaled the flights of time to sing this day.

His heart is mine, his wings enfold my hands,

and his song, if I will, comes from my lips

Will you let him take your side in the world?

Will you let him waken the day with you?

 

Steps

 

This angel-being brings more light on the path.

How can my steps be faltering or blind,

how can I doubt my way or pull up short?

The music of his wings enfolds my heart,

the love within his eyes shines out of mine.

The ground grows bright again beneath my feet,

and when I wake this day he wakes in me.

 

Passed

 

I’m with him while the world turns halfway round,

then see the sun’s light tinge his wings again.

He’s with me when I wake and feel the ground,

he spares no pains to light the page and pen.

This angel-being was there from first to last,

he’ll be there when the round world’s fully passed.

 

Best wishes, today,

Landar
