A Flood Of Love

A Flood Of Love digital collage

A Flood of Love

I lay supine,

your grace washing through me

like a flood of love divine

knowing only the moment of surrender

as the gates open to a light reborn,

soft, and tender.

Awash in a flood of love

that fills even the darkest spaces,

banishing the harsh word

the truculent grime,

so that for a time

not even pain can enter here.

A release of each anxiety

every darkness washed from the core of me,

as we swim into this dazzling sea,

I in thou, thou in me;

And in that place,

where the light surges through the gates

flowing into every memory I have known

soothing each space into which I've grown

I find myself dissolving into a unity of you

that spreads through out my universe

my subtle inner view

until all that is left of me,

left of this vestige of you,

is a splash of luminescence,

painted upon a canvas of dazzling hue.

You do not come from without

you do not echo in some doubt

you do not flood me through my eyes

or ears, or nose,

but through the deepest sighs.

An eruptive eminence of delight

streaming from within

born to some second sight,

a flood of love

caressing me with light.

And there in that place,

I open my eyes

and see the world once more

turn upon its tide

a remnant of the vision

of the radiance inside.

I snuck away from family stuff, glanced at facebook & found this lovely poem from Richard at CreativeSoulsPublishing. It made me want to draw like mad, but with relatives orbiting my time is limited today. I tossed together this digital sketch. Not thrilled but hope to come back to it someday, so decided to save for later.

I wish I had more time to play with this digital doodle but the festivities are calling ( I will confess that I am far more tempted by my studio than fireworks & bar-b-que... and feel quite guilty about it...)

Best wishes to all & hope you enjoy the week ahead.
