Christ is the Lord
Lord of the Light
Lord of the Shining Worlds
the One Light
within each One.
Christ is the One Light moving
across the face of the Earth
awakening souls
in the shadow of illusion.
Awakening love
and forgiveness
in every heart,
awakening Peace on Earth
This is the last year.
There will be no other,
but heartless nature
seemingly relents.
Never has a winter sun
spilled so much light,
never have so many flowers
dared such early bloom.
The air is brilliant, sharp.
Never have I taken
such long, long breaths.
