Beyond Redemption Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

Don't sit far away from the hand of redemption
Regardless of your ego or conviction
Stay near the door of renewal and hope
Be ready to embrace change
And to enter the realm of awareness
Always peel away the stubbornness in your nature
Be like water, don't choose your bowl
Flow into every vessel with ease
Nest in every branch of life
Fill yourself with the light weight of awareness
Create your own channel of intimacy with existence
Bury yourself into the fibre of light
Be like a droplet of water
Always be ready to break through the shell of minuteness
And be ready to be the river that gushes into the ocean of being
Let your wholeness be defined by your inner calmness
Let your aloneness be the vesicle of joy
And your presence be a ray of hope
It is only those who sit beyond redemption
Stirring the pot of wickedness and evil
That will not see the Light of God
It is within our human nature
To be either an entity of goodness, heaven bound
Or to be a lost soul
Burrowing through the dark abyss of the unknown
