‘Divine Light’ – a short poem annotating a recurring experience and a vision I had. At moments I feel complete, then immediately I fall apart 

As the Sun rose,

And the day roles.

My bipolar mind,

Had exhilarating highs.

Then the night sky,

Crept in silent like.

I didn’t even hear the Sun say bye,

But, I remember, I had the time of my life.

My minds-eye,

Conjures an image of the tree of life shinning bright.

Growing in unstoppable light,

I saw Jesus rise.

I thought no evil lies,

On this Earth, it’s just God’s disguise.

To teach us all to realise,

Not to be afraid of each other, we don’t have to hide.

Then Jesus started to cry,

In the shadow of the tree of life, the light started to die.

A thorn bush grows inside,

The darkness and it’s not so kind.

Evil lurks and it’s bound to life,

The bloodied thorns block my path and sight.

I have to walk through it in a beeline,

Invisible like memories cutting sharp as a knife.

As I walk passed they slice and dice,

My body, mind and heart tonight.

So, I fill my belly with energy to write,

The only thing right I can see to put in a line.

Maybe a passage to all mankind a rite,

But even if this world decides.

To take mind, body, heart and life,

It can never take our souls divine light.
