The light can never not be


The light can never not be
because it is what IS
it is everything
the up and down
the in between

it is the substance and
the non substance
it is the open and
the closed

it is yesterday
today and
tomorrow
it is the remembered and
the forgotten

it is the leaf that falls from the tree
it is the tree
the trunk
the roots
and the bird that sits
on the branches
the earth
the rocks
the rain and
open sky

it is the young love
the sorrow
the confusion
the doubt
the blooming
the grasping
the wanting
the letting go
the surrendered sigh
the distant gaze
the hand that reaches out
and the hand that witholds
it is life


it is the laugh
the cry
the vision
the seer
the understanding
the distance
the nowhere
the nothing

it is the path
the no path
the travelling
the standing still
it is the vastness
and all that moves within it
it is what has always been
and can never not Be

it is the child
the mother
the father
the young and old
the new birth
the dying
the sorrow
the comfort
it is all that can be said
and not said
it is all that ever was
and can be


it is the now
that never wasn't
it is the vast and constricted
the beautiful and ugly
the supreme
the mundane
the smallest
the largest
the infinite
the limited

Oh friend the light
is everything and all
rejoice
The light can never not Be
