The Light

One day,
not so long ago
I sat,
contemplating
life’s inevitable sorrows
Forlorn I’d been,
for a decade now

I felt
Unknowable
Insignificant
Unrelatable
Solitary

“You are not alone”
I was assured
Yet,
my heart
profoundly disagreed

Where are these
Angels and Guides
who it’s said abound?
No one is watching over me

As if on cue,
a bright light washed over me
It seeped through my limbs
and wrapped me in its glow,
capturing my heart

An ineffable love
enveloped me
Love; Intense,
All-consuming,
Enigmatic

I could refuse it no longer
They wanted me to know

I’d been touched by an Angel

I felt the Joy of Life
And the overwhelming
Love and Abundance
of Heaven

My wealth of gratitude
awakens the light inside
that glows with unconditional
Love and Support

I feel The Light
I am Joy
Love exists through me
