THE DAYLIGHT STAR – PART TWO
By dint of what it is, the daylight star will never falter, its light will always hold. Yet where it comes from and where it goes to is a mystery. It travels as and when it will. It will be there throughout the hours of day, although the lights and reflections of ordinary life will keep it hidden. It remains the brightest reality in the sky. Its shining wakes another way in the hidden world. It takes the past from everything that’s been.
There is a point of contact for the daylight star, which reaches through the blindness of our ordinary sky. This point is something which is also living blindly in the earth – something which peers so longingly into the question why, it fails to see that conventionally there is no answer. The brilliance of the sky, filled with its daytime distractions, will not see these two points meet – the star whose light never loses its way, and the dreaming head it comes down to anoint.
By night the star is everything I am – my best self, a radiance which knows no falsehood. The points of its crown pierce through every veil of life. We need each other’s eyes to see its light, to live in faithfulness to what we are – to recognize our inner truth and keep the promise of the daylight star.
It’s my wish that Light on the Page should help with this.
Been
The star is ardent, always burning true,
its light will never falter, always hold.
Yet where it comes from, when it travels through,
and where it goes to, never will be told.
But it will be there all the hours of day
when lights and bright reflections hide the seen.
And where it shines it wakes another way
and takes the past from everything that’s been.
Anoint
A point of contact for the daylight star,
which reaches through the blindness of our sky –
a blind thing in the earth which looks so far
it fails to see no answer in the why.
How far removed the brilliance of the day,
which will not see them meeting point to point,
the star whose light has never lost its way,
the dreaming head it comes down to anoint.
The Daylight Star
By night the star is everything I am,
its shining is my best self looking down,
a radiance with no deceit or sham,
no veils of life to hide its piercing crown.
We need each other’s eyes to see the light,
to live in faithfulness to what we are,
to recognize our truth with inner sight
and keep the promise of the daylight star.
Best wishes, today,
Landar
