The Shadow Of Light
From above and around
She heard the call
The voice that spoke
But had no form
She filled with joy
But knew not the voice
She cried in ecstasy
With love for her
Loving friend
That she had heard but never seen......
She knew that the friendship
Was everything to her
But had no one to tell
And no one to believe.......
She heard the verses
That spoke of the truth
She smiled like a child
That had found the toy
No child ever had.....
Yet she wished to share
The secrets of the good
But could not find
The soul that could
See the wealth
That her spirit
Had to offer from inside......
She often asked
To the voice that spoke,
"Who are you......
Why do I love you so
My eyes thirst to see
The one that speaks
The truth in whole
And is always there......
With me!
The voice would speak
Of her journey ahead,
"Here are the hills
That you shall climb
At times you shall stand
Then again you may feel
That you may fall.....
But remember My hand
Shall always save you
Until you are steady to climb again......"
"And then again
You shall cross the meadows in bloom
You shall pick out the thorns
You shall save the blooms......
You shall be merry
And I shall sing to you
The songs of faith
You shall cross the meadow of thorns
With no other friend
Only I shall be your shadow ahead."
And now she could see the shadow
That was filled with light
That walked before her..... always......
The voice of love
And the shadow of light
Became her life
The song of truth
That she sang
Became the food
For those that came
And spent a moment
In her journey.....
Then one day
From the shadow of light
A hand emerged
And held hers with love.
The voice spoke to her and said,
"You are from now
One with Me
And I shall tell you
Who I am.....
And once you know
The truth of Me
You shall lose your self
And enter Me."
She cried like a child
That was about to know her mother
She danced in madness
And twirled in devotion...
"Finally...... finally......
I get to see my Master
A final wish I would like
O friend before I merge in you
I would like to
Climb the hills......
Fall again
And be saved by you.......
I have loved the love
That I have for you
I know of nothing else
I have done whatever you have asked of me
And I have earned the treasure to be Your only friend.....
If I shall enter You
I shall lose the moments of loving You
I ask for one more moment
Before you reveal Your Self
A moment of the glorious past
That I have spent with You."
'You My dear one
I shall give
Whatever you ask......
You shall receive
The moment of realization
In which you dance
All the moments of the past
In one moment......
You shall see in that moment
My form that is in gold......
In that glorious moment
You shall live......
Your final moment
And know My name...."
The arms of the Master encircled her being......
In the glorious light
She could see her beloved Master
That had taught her
Every little lesson of life......
All the moments of her past
Filled her with the closeness
And she was drunken
In the purest of love.....
And just before the moment was to end
And she was to enter eternity....
She heard the final words......
"I am the Source of every self
I am the love that you have loved Me with.......
I am visible only at the final moment
When you lose consciousness
Of all ....... except that of love......
And you can enter Me
When there is nothing left of you to keep.....
You called Me the shadow of light......
You called Me the voice of love
That too was your delusion.......
I was always your Self........
What you saw was........
The light of your devotion
That became clearer to you
As you became closer to your Self........
I am that Self.......
I am the only Self........
