Quiet Lights Love Riot
Alistair T.S.E. Allen
Beloved wondrous Light of Understanding
Your warm glow of balm wisdom was beyond comprehending
You flipped clipped ripped all my past’s painful branding
No bile vending vile bending guile rending, just trust trending
You answered every query from every life
Then my greed speedily decreed I needed more lore
Curiosity’s desire for omniscience ran rife
I wanted all of Light’s infinity to explore
My synapses mapped clapped dapped snapped then napped
Trapped in body, lapped by Light, in Love wrapped
Ra’s shawl atop pine throbbing scintillant phosphorescence
Overcome by your blinding hug, now a new man
Singing thinking drinking in life’s tinkling luminescence
Earthly plan abandoned for worthy burdened clan
