FOREVER
Forever the light is water,
and forever the light is fire and the glory of fire.
The light is a shining cloud,
and forever the light is falling rain.
The light that is water is life that is
a river of water and the river has
many streams and the streams are
many children and the children
are always laughing and running
And the laughing is a shining face
laughing in the rain
And the running is a joyous running
like coins dancing in the light
And sitting down from the running
is the rest that is the Center.
The light that will always be light - and is
always Itself Alone light - sends out invitations of
grace.
And the only love is the love that is love
Forever.
