Illuminated

industrious
imperceptible
snatches
of reality
flash by the screen
of my consciousness
and glimpses are revealed
of a truth so vast
it is impossible to grasp
in one gigantic gulp
or overview
This life is a dimly lit
barely open crack
of what is of
such overwhelming
magnitude
that
we are a whisper
of its word
an echo
of its voice
and all that is
is but a fraction of a fraction
of this
equation
that keeps changing
and rearranging itself
and as it grows
it keeps setting up
new configurations
you can feel it
but not explain it
killers hug and hustle
unfiltered debris
ready to devour
you
falsely accuse you
drop you into hell
heaven is an eye surgeon
that creates a new vision
and you think
you are doing it yourself
he just pulls away the layers
and what is already
in proportion and
itches to implodes and
enters
when
you are off guard
unprepared
naked
you better beware
Jesus is around the corner
in the shoe store
helping blind soldiers and deaf ballerinas
who do not
handle there self centeredness
they think they are dancing
but they are falling
and may never rise
just what can be given
to souls like these
I say
get out of the way
let the rivers flow
Every Where
is the answer
everywhere is the promise
everywhere is the deceiver
humans
if there are some left
must rally to the cause
Survival depends
upon you each one of you
and we can tip the scale
in the direction
of the Face
of the Grace
that encompasses
all.
