IN THE LIGHT OF THE SPIRIT

“Where I am coming from
And where I am going in
The light of the spirit
Is bathed in joyous delight…”

I am a traveler
On a path of light
That opens before me
As I walk forward,
That will always be here
And continue onwards
Even after I leave this body.

Even when I become 
Clouded in darkness, 
I am still moving straight ahead
Because I am completely 
Surrendered to the Light,
To this eternal path,
Whether living on this 
Plane or gone beyond.

I go forward tonight
Alone on my hands and knees
In silent solitude to
Find the way of Love
That will lead me through
And comfort my aching heart—

As my love grows,
So does the 
Light of the spirit
Within me—

Until all I receive
Is blessings falling
Like sweet rain,
Until all I am doing leads 
Me to dance in delight…

And where I am 
Coming from and 
Where I am going
Is  bathed in
Joyous Light.
