Season For God

What humankind does 
for the sake of certainty. 
Dim­ming the Divine 
while trying to catch the light 
in a jar to name and sell. 

Shielding the eyes 
of children from the sun, 

so they will hunger 
for the goods. 
Gutting us of truth 
to chase ideas 
laced with charisma. 

Training our appetites 
to crave. 


What happens 
if I don't take the trinket, 
when I know where 
to find the jewel? 

What if I know the secret 
source of illumin­ation, 
nourishing to the core? 

What if I can bask in the flame 
that lives in my own soul, 
and never have to cover 
my eyes? 

That vast, yet hidden light, 
only visible to those 
who have found it, too. 


We are radiant in a place 
that no one else can touch.
