Penance

Penance

From the heart of nothingness, from the center of that which cannot be,
A Spark! Light since and forevermore shall emanate to illuminate all:
Unprejudiced and pure, Love has fallen fair and forever so on all shall fall –
Gifted to dust, Life willed itself enshrined and confined ‘til by death again set free.
Innocent, flesh need pay no price for the Light to darkness fated:
Created were we; and by the captive within was this enigma dictated.
Life meant to shine ever straight and true, reflects ‘til our end within aglow:
For the madness of Light, chaos is ours to still so to truth and solace know –
Nature’s law writes the right, whether within our own unknown
Or far beyond what man has dreamt, and eons past what light has shown.
Conformity unto translucence is the penance for peace our souls must seek to pay
That Light and Life and Love now free may once more travel straight along their way.
