The Way
is the way
of truth and light.
May I know The Truth
when I hear it ring. May I see
thy Holy Light right in front of my face.
May I make a righteous choice
at every curious crossroad.
May I choose the road
chosen by someone
smarter than me
by God!

How does the Holy Spirit feel to our 5 bodily senses
when it co-mingles with our human spirit?
Our hearts are heavy – there is much suffering
we feel the pressure of unseen gravitational forces
bearing down on us – pushing us against the solid earth.
When the Holy Spirit invades
one’s physical and mental presence,
one begins to think one must be levitating.
The weight of doubt is so heavy…
and one doesn’t even know how heavy,
until one feels the weight drop in an instant.

Creation begets human consciousness daily.
Consciousness gives birth to Desire endlessly.
Desire transcends illusion momentarily.
*
Here is a sight we seldom see:
union in tragedy.
Lights from the heart light up the dark,
showing the way to be.
*
Love is a force that opens eyes.
To those who’d blacken skies:
Feel from the heart before you start
to sever all the ties.
*
Remember, sisters and brothers,
hate and anger smothers.
Beneath the ruins of mankind
Love’s flame will lead the blind.

I went on this path one day – off the straight and narrow way
looking to find the unknown – unafraid to be alone
a skip in my stride – my smile a mile wide
passion perspiring inside.
.
Suddenly! There’s a shadow – beside my own.
“It can’t be so!” No one came with me, I know.
Nobody else wished to go.
Who could it be then? How shall I begin?
Where did it happen and when?
.
I’ll tell you a secret now – that only you can allow.
Stick with me for one moment – maybe you’ll find atonement.
Do you not have the time? It won’t cost a dime.
(Don’t be scared. It’s just a rhyme.)
.
Okay? Now, back to the trail…
not knowing that I could fail – sensing a treasure ahead
I take a left turn instead.
And to my surprise – right before my eyes
this other shadow complies.
.
I look – but no one is there!
With reason, I must compare…
Judging it, I do declare, “It’s not my own!”, but I swear,
it stayed right with me. I giggled with glee!
(Quite strange, you might agree.)
.
And so, I strode on through the wood
wond’ring if two shadows could
converge as one, if the light
from the sun was angled right.
.
I stopped in my tracks, and checked out the facts:
← Three as One →
Sun on our backs!

Guardian Shadow appear! Assurance is always near.
Tho’ crossroads never seem clear,
Directions tell me not to fear.
Whichever I choose, I know I can’t lose.
He’s already paid my dues!

For there are three that bear record in heaven,
the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost:
and these three are one.
