It's The Light In Everything Poem by Norah Tunney

It's The Light In Everything

Rating: 5.0


It's the light in everything

It's the light in everything
that breaks your heart,
Its like seeing Jesus
or Ramana
in every face,
or in all the little shops
and cafes along the way,
or like that old man we saw
in the Village Inn,
his radiance still burns
a hole right through us
Oh! ! to be
so empty! !
so free! !
so alive! !
that you become
a Living Flame of Love
sweeping the floors
in the Village Inn.

Norah, this touches off so many things it would make a dissertation of a response. So I'll simply say, yes, it is the light. -Glen

The common, regular folk are often the best souls.
