THE REBIRTH

Whipped to the edge of desperation
Man goes to the edge of himself

Standing uncertain at the brink of sanity

Beseeching an unknown saviour in the dark stormy clouds

Veiling unseen sun

Behind ceaseless gusts of winds menacing.

Night_scenes_115_1

But suddenly a greater roar comes rolling from afar

Towards man seemingly lost in jaws elemental

That threaten to engulf him.

In a flash man is pulled into arms of love

Transcending space and time

Reintegrating atmosphere of living light and sound

Rocking in soothing waves of life

Realising all is one body

Remaining acutely aware of being an atom of love

Flesh of flesh of light becoming.

Man weeps in the arms of liberation

But lo, even his tears transform into living flames

The agony of bliss becoming unbearable

The previously dark cloak whipped away

Transformed into robe of fiery colours

No thought of nakedness arising

Man now reborn into promised land of peace and love.

The bells of liberation peal out victoriously

The very elements dancing the sacred steps of freedom

The whole cosmos stirring in sympathy to miracle supreme

The herald of the new day and new man testifying:

“Glory to the king of light

Peace to the kingdom of glory!”
