Light of the World

poem by: Gerry Legister
Written on Aug 21, 2016

They looked just like twins 
Bordering the grim terrain of earthly rim,
With piercing words defeat volume of sins, 
Something wonderful came from within.

When the mighty energy of light begin, 
Exposing the cloud of beautiful black blaze,
With nectar nourishing and refreshing, 
Chorus lift a veil from the indwelling vase.

Darkness fades, into the plume of bloom, 
Adventure of faith made something startling. 
Happened to thoughts of everyone in the room,
Self-dismantled, by spirit praising the living king.

The grace within, sing songs in exaltation, 
Seated on the throne invisible and omnipotent,
My heart joined angels in gracious reunion,
Dwell on dark consent where once content.

To see the light of the world in a new realm,
The beacon gave optimism a brief glimpse,
Until culture came and took back the ocean,
Leaving my soul adrift in a melancholy abyss.
