The Sun Rises (a poem)

by Rev. Julie A Gillespie

The sun rises and illuminates
the hidden places,
The shadows, the crevices of darkness,
Of despair.

Painful, dark caverns of black
Suddenly tinged around the corners
With orange and pink and yellow,
Revealing every detail of the truth
That had lain in waiting to be unveiled.

Darkness cannot compete with this birth,
This benediction of love and longing,
And relief.
Whatever tears had been shed –
Suddenly forgotten in an instant
And regarded as though they never fell.
Long ago it seems there had been a sadness
Yet now you remember not exactly when.

The sun rises and the hollowed mouth of death,
Whose opening had promised kisses of torment,
Of terror,
Now reveals its harmless nature.
Suddenly the place where you had feared to go,
And yet to which you had been drawn,
Is seen in the full, deep breath of day
As eternally powerless, as lord of nothing.

Darkness is lifted from the
Mind of Truth,
And It realizes nothing was ever lost,
Or found.
It simply was as always in eternity.
Suddenly it is seen that the sleeping mind
Simply dreamed of bodies and lack and a world
Where constancy gave way to change,
And love meant something other than All.

The sun rises, and the Mind of God laughs,
And remembers not the time when the impossible was attempted,
And mouths of caverns whispered poison.
Suddenly eternity reveals the dank, dark places of every cave and crevice of the ego and it is seen that no evil lives there and

Never did and never will. Amen
