THE LIGHT ENCOMPASSES.

The Light Encompasses.

The light encompasses the whole world,

And everyone in it.  The dawn does not bend;

In it, dwells the passion like that of passionfruit

Or dragonfruit, that we eat or maybe it even eats us.

I have found something bigger than what humanity

Seeks, the durability of love, the light and the hope;

In the void, in the silence of it all, love is there,

Waving and moving in the light itself.  The Greek knew

All about love and lovemaking, and the art of it,

And how it grows bigger and bigger each time it

Encompasses the world, how there is a field of it in

A faraway valley somewhere, how the fear is there,

Shaking and shimmering, raw and putrid flesh.

I think about it often, how it wanders about the plains,

Wondering and mimicking movement, taking shape in

People, places, and things-and how, over and under,

The doubt changes, becoming a shadowy thing that

Glimmers out all fear.
