Divine, an inspired poem for the day

Contemplating the meaning of the word, Divine I explored many things that it is not. It’s an easy word to look up, to think about. Words like God, Heaven, Saint, Sage, Mystic, Beyond come to mind. These are not enough. And this poem is not enough. But it’s what I have for today:

Divine

A visit from beyond
A channeled murmur from
Some deeply hidden, unknowable
Dimension out of time.

Inspiration: an inflow
Into openness, acceptance
Trusting to wisdom
To know in time.

The dark mystery of Light
So bright it blinds
So full in demands
An expiration of Love.

It is All, it is Nothing:
Float on the gossamer wing
The insignificant complexity
The extraordinary Presence just here.
