Truth Becomes You

The time is always now,
the world is always bright,
it's not just when but how,
the soul transcends to light.

Look back and tell me when,
perfection walked the earth,
Gods light will shine in men,
who know the spirits worth.

So has it been before,
and shall be once again,
we gain forevermore,
the lessons learnt through pain.

Yes lights have shone before,
so bright to blind our eyes,
one walked along the shore,
chose fishermen to rise.

So we must cast our nets,
and walk the narrow way,
forgive and pay our debts,
choose wisely what we say.

Then joy will fill our soul,
our lives a light will be,
the truth shall make us whole,
that walked in Galilee

    Knowing and living the truth adds a certain radiance to someone. There is a certain sense which touches the soul in their presence. I think of how artists depict saintly people with either a white or golden glow of halos reflecting the acceptance of truth inside.

    Reads like a dream David and is worthy of its own. Best to you in the contest.

      I am sure we sense more in people than we know, and are aware of their spiritual/mental states if we open ourselves up to our feelings. Even plants are known to have auras, have you heard of Kirilian photographs? Pictures taken of plant leaves showing an aura. How much greater than the Lillies are we, they neither sow nor reap etc,.
      Thankyou Pixie for your thoughts
      David

    I love this poem, the message of Jesus coming into the world as a light, from the gospel of john. I really like the rhyme, the story line. It’s well written too... the ending was great. So just keep writing great poems and ill keep reading...

      Thankyou Sis, so glad you liked it, not normally my style to focus so much on a christian message. But that is what came to me so I had to put it down.
      All the best,
      Love david

    the choices

    they are apart of each moment

    like a pebble we toss into the water, the ripples

    each thought leads to words than to actions

     

    forgiveness it is a powerful tool

    it ushers in joy, it releases us

     

    the time is indeed NOW!

     

    very well done David

    always impressed

    always a pleasure

     

    God Thank you my friend...
