Life And Light Poem by Nereva Notswa

Life and light



The first memory is of light,
only blissful limitless light.

Gradually forms appear,
Transparent, far, not near.

The forms fill out with colour;
over time they become duller.

They are solid and real by adulthood;
sensual pleasures then are good
and light has been absorbed a lot:
darkness comprehendeth not.

Meditation and the help of teachers,
work and love then lightens features.

Past mid-life, forms are again transparent,
light and bliss ever more apparent.

Will I soon be light again,
Is this the aim of life for Men?
