What Is It To See?

Self-Revelation

Some use the symbolism of relationship
Wherein God is expressing through a brilliant light.
Underneath all the forms we perceive, the divine
Is kept from direct vision unless we align
With its presence. The notion implies inner sight.
Going into the bright light is a sacred trip.

You are looking right at it, and in doing so,
You are it. The experience is exactly
The same as pure divinity. We’re pretending
Not to know this for the fear of our offending
The Almighty. We want to see desperately
Evidence of the presence that seems hard to know.

The vision of the paper cup is just the same
As the brilliant light of the cosmos. It’s unseen
Because all the points of divine light are tiny.
We’re amazed by the many things there are to see.
We can know that within God there’s no in-between.
A rose is still a rose by any other name.

The source of all light is in the eyes. If there were
No eyes in the world, then there would be no sunlight.
We evoke light from being. Our consciousness state
In this moment is one we can appreciate.
It is something like heaven to be given sight.
The spirit that you are is obliged to concur.
