YOU CRY OUT
FOR PEACE
FROM THE PLACE OVERWHELMED BY DARKNESS
AS THIS VOICE IS HEARD
SO IS THE ANTIDOTE TO THE DARKNESS
THIS IS THE DEEPER MEANING OF AN NUR
FROM THE QURAN
AN NUR AS THE LIGHT OF AWARENESS
THAT ARISES
WHEN ONE REMEMBERS
THE PRESENCE OF GOD
ACKNOWLEDGING THE DARKNESS WITHIN
ONE PENETRATES IT
BY SIMPLY LOOKING AT IT
THERE IT IS
A BREATH
A SIGH
AND A DISSOLUTION LIKE ALCHEMY
BEGINS
TRANSFORMING IT TO LIGHT
BY LIGHT
THROUGH LIGHT
IN LIGHT
I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD
IS NOT ABOUT HIM
IT IS ABOUT YOU
