Face of Splendor

Now begins a story true
that for me is always new
that has shaped my life
through and through

I have seen the Face of Splendor
flying past lifetimes 
into boundless Light
past all darkness and the night

My life began that day

I was young then, only 21
and full of the usual folly
Someone I hardly recall
So many changes were needed
Large and small

Laying on my bed,
Feeling huge love flow.
The edifices of ego
crumbled as I lay
letting  go of all into the past
while flying into the brilliant vast

My life began that day

I saw Masters in a flash,
I worshiped at their feet in love,
Life after life, they flew past
as the Light drew me above

In that Face of Splendor
The Living Light, I suddenly knew
was the True me, and also you.
The Infinite One and never two.
In an instant, I was gone
In the endless Light

An unspeakable release
Freedom unsurpassed
The immense space
of Power Bright
The Force of Love
The Being of Light
Splendor beyond compare

My life began that day

For how long, I was gone
I will never know. I was forgotten, 
cast aside like  old shoe soles
for a timeless time in that brilliant glow

I was washed away
and replaced with Passionate fire
that burns in my soul today
To give greatness to the Light
To make It my whole life
To give all I have and can do
For me, there is no other way

My life began that day

I returned to myself at last
The Light was vanishing 
down a dark tunnel fast
As they say, happens after death
I tried to hold on and never let go
I wanted to serve it with my whole

Then the Light became a vision
in a square against the black
I saw a grand gate open wide,
with attendants on either side
showing the garden within
of shimmering greens and blues

Somehow I already knew 
this was my hearts home true,
where I had to go
not then, no no no.
it wasn't manifest yet.

My life began that day

suddenly I was awake 
again on my bed 
My heart was pounding
in amazement, as if  I
just awoke from the dead

In time, I found the Master
Who gave me great  Gifts
The Face of Splendor
And so much more

Who drew me to my heart's home true
Behind the grand gates open wide
With attendants on either side
Behind the garden of greens and blues
He drew me to him to stay

My life began that day
My life began that day
