A Master of Light
1970's thru 1990's
All was silence...
A vacuum of echoes...
A hollow of matter...
A whisper of screaming.
All was nothing...
A rotation of chaos...
A blinding of darkness...
A grossness of meaning.
All was lost...
Veiled from coherence...
Removed in obscurity...
Non-begotten destiny.
All was falling...
Orderless dispersion...
Dirging in harmony...
Wet heat colliding.
A moment...
A murmur...
An anticipation.
A gathering of stirrings...
A waiting...
A yearning.
A climax...
A lightning...
A yielding...
A burgeoning.
A cry in the hollows
Insistent...
Demanding.
A break in the darkness...
The void
Now relenting.
A form in the chaos...
A spirit...
A being.
First in the universe
First in the seeing
Crying...
Creating...
Loving...
Freeing...
A sound...
A light...
A word...
A being...
Outpouring life,
Mastering...
Seeing.
The purest perception
Of life in a vortex,
Existing...
Abiding...
Creating...
Congealing.
The drama...
The power...
The pureness of wisdom.
The music...
The harmony...
The essence of gladness.
The wholeness...
The oneness...
The love born of being.
And then from this essence,
The heart...
The spirit...
A voice in the darkness,
Beckoning...
Commanding...
A word--
And the shockwaves reverberate outward,
Bespeaking existence
And meaning...
And purpose...
To cause a creation
Of life
And life's music
To fulfill what the vacuum
Had so long enstrangled
To be life
To make life
To give life
Eternal.
A cry...
And the chaos
Had found a new order.
A cry...
And the elements came to attention.
A cry...
And the silence danced to the music.
A cry...
And life's freedom
Found joy in formation.
A spirit eternal
Touched world of matter
By voice...
And the heavens sprang into being.
A spirit eternal
Touched world of matter
By voice...
And caused waves for life's emerging.
A spirit eternal
Touched world of matter
By voice...
And all life
Found form and instinct.
A voice... in the silence
A form... in the chaos
An answer... in the wilderness
A master of all
A mastering master
Making sense of the lostness
Making peace in the universe
Creating and taming...
All things bowing to it.
Creating harmony
Light!
Light... being!
Life!
Becoming Truth!
Light!
Light... being!
Life!
Becoming Truth!
