Season of the Divine

Can we all go home now?

Can we enter the land 
of perpetual spring 
where even monsters 
become friends? 

Sloughing of crusty hides 
to reveal the secret soul, 
so beautiful it brings us 
to our knees? 

Take us to the place 
where only the eternal shines. 

Where we all bask 
in the luminous emanation 
of everything and everyone, 
in perfect love. 

No longer othered, 
but a family forever 
with all who seek the light.

I’m ready. 

Calling all my light kin. 
I cannot stand alone. 
No one can. 

So take my hand now, 
and let us enter 
the land of promise,

where all the nightmares 
are swallowed by the sun, 
when the war is finally over. 

Nobody won. It’s just done, 
because life must always 
live on.
