A Funny Thing
Oh it really did !
A funny thing happened to me today !
I woke as usual, dressed as usual,
looked at the clock as usual,
and saw that time was standing still.
I stepped outside to see the day breaking
and the sun shining,
and the people full of every imaginable show
of lightness and brightness.
They were floating around in this colour,
drenching themselves wth it,
looking like rainbows
in a beautiful scene of light.
And I was with them,
moving with them,dancing with them,
feeling such joy, such perfect joy,
they gave me such warmth
and light and love and peace:-
a perfection that dazzled me
and showed me Heaven - just for a moment.
A funny thing - but I think it really happened !

One World
I see a world,-everyone in peace,
a peace so pure it lights up space,
and time melts into a moment of bliss.
The whole of creation here,
fusing into life with perfect joy,
each spectrum colour resonating through,
blending into wholeness
and deep, deep, love.
A happiness so profound.
a life simply perfect,
a moment of clarity
that sees deeply into the soul of God,
knowing that I belong.

Simply Into Light
Colour my world with lightness
let me drown in pleniude,
let me soar into the heavens
only to find myself
in deepest peace.
Light is the essence of myself.
I yearn for it.
I plead with my soul to lift me into
its dizzy heights
to see splendour here.
Light is the knowing of me,
the knowledge of myself
in harmony with life and being.
Lifting me into sweet motionless rapture,
shining deeply into my heart, my soul,
to set my spirit free.
It lets me find a sure
sweet rapturous moment
when all creation lies within myself,
and shows me meaning, purpose,
fullness of time and space,
deep, deep empathy with all things
all people, all creation,
and that pervasive spirit of life
love and peace.
