LIGHT DOES NOT SHATTER

the reason
light will not shatter
gave it so huge a symbolic duty.
watch closely because it can shine
no matter how many rays we deem divided.
scattering,
there
is
only
the
scattering,
like star dust,
still glittering,
gently,
like whispering
of angels
when a child is born.
the sun isn't made
of breakable
matter.
it's power feels more
like a note of the song
from God's Oneness
than the glass that holds
the blood of Jesus.

there is, after all,
only the symbol
of blood,
the illusion of death,
our tongues taste Truth
in the names of God,
infinite
expressions
of the One.

there is a place
in God's world
for shattering
and scattering
and shards,
but nothing is ever
enough to turn
to wound the sense
of Light in us.

those are stories,
fiction,
fantasies.

a zillion rays
make a zillion pieces
of light. after all,
God uses this to guide
the lost,
the empty,
the aching,
the shredded,
the bleeding.

we have witnessed
the ability of
a kiss of the most miniscule
trickle of light
to heal
a person for life.
