Transformation

What truly sparks
a transformation
is the inside self
when its attuned
with that inner light
of pure being in a soul.

In prayer
and contemplation
just being
listening, breathing
comes the moment
peaceful and quiet
a change from within
opens the new light out.

Each one has to find
a way to come home
where God truly dwells
within the soul
and each way is unique
to each traveler
along the lines of prayer.

Maybe in one moment
unexpected in its
ordinariness and silence
a touch of the divine
is felt and seen
in the awareness
only one loving heart
can perceive so calmly.

Oh, may we find each other
basked in the love divine
where everything created
was formed and made
and transformed in holiness
never again to languish
in the saga of human insanity
deprived of true meaning and purpose.

Today, let us celebrate
another borrowed time
another gifted life
another sparkling hope
for life is good and beautiful
when shared in love and joy
as we come and gather in unity
to sing as one a song of gratitude!
