Meditation© 2008 Rolland G. Smith
Beware the black of fear and seizures nightWhen earthly reason cannot see light’s bright.For now’s the time to bide your mind and soulAs reason swallows all illusions whole.
Now move your thoughts to where it’s empty spaceTo thus acknowledge true the wholesome graceOf joy and wisdom coming from the SourceWhere sadness and old pain hold no remorse.
Love holds us in the brace of lasting peaceThat comes to all as if it’s a releaseTo see the life that you have chosen nowAs right and just and what you did avow.
Avow, you did, before the counsel lightBefore your spirit came into its mightFor density is hard to comprehendWhen essence is about to matter blend.
Let the poets of this time tell us truthIn teaching to the learned and the youth.For death does not diminish what I sayIt is the listening mind that does decay.
