Light

Was it light?
Was it light within?
Was it light within light?
Stillness becoming alive,
Yet still?

A lively understandable spirit
Once entertained you.
It will come again.
Be still.
Wait.

Light multiplying
thru prismatic windows
eyes jelling in

rapture, passion -
Wait - hold memory -
yet this glow

goes on marking
paths to
our sole true
