Illumination

-Illumination-
by Keaton Foster


Darkness
Then light
Illumination
I see it
Thus
I believe it
As much as I
The man that is me
Can believe anything
The sky
Has opened
The sun
Has spoken
The clouds
Have moved
Clarity
Must be truth
God
The spirit
The Holiest Ghost
Has come down
From Heaven
Upon my stoop
He now stands
With his hand
Outreached
He speaks to me
His lips don’t move
But in my mind
His words ring out
Son of no one
Man of nothing
I’ve come
Made myself
Identifiable to you
And you alone
I would like you
As one of my flock
A chosen child
Of my holiest light
Come back with me
Back to the sky
Back beyond
All scope and time
Come with me
And be free
This is your chance
Your one certainty
Illumination
There will never be
Another like this
Pondering
As I often do
Wisely I think
About my reply
So long
That all of my life
Seems to slip on by
What should I do
What should it be
Is there an answer
Other than yes or no
Is there something else
Something less dire
And more inspired
What could I say
To the creator
And destructor of us all
Most of all me
Illumination
God waits
The equivalent
Of just a second
Within
All of his existence
If anything
He is patient
With light
In my heart
I am ready
To properly reply
Father of all but I
Master from above
God of every sky
I am not ready to die
I won’t accept your offer
Not because
I don’t believe in it
But because presently
I have no need for it…
