“Close your eyes. Feel it. The light…it’s always been there. It will guide you.”

 

                     -Maz Kanata

 

 

 

Eyes shut

Darkness falls,

Yet something different

Begins to call.

A voice,

A whisper,

That gentle nudge

That directs you down

The path you trudge.

 

You feel something close

You can almost see

Lost to the sighted world

Faith says seek

And you shall find me.

When all light fails

In the world of men

And hope is brittle and dead,

The light of God

Illuminates,

Invigorates,

And motivates

For real life to breath

Deeply….again.

Need a guide

In a thorn-covered path

That’s full of dangers

And peril?

When all you have loved

Has become distant

Forgotten,

And sterile?

 

Open your hands,

Your heart,

You mind,

To the source of all light,

And goodness,

And you’ll find,

A greater force

To reckon with

That surpasses all

Eternity and time.
