Bright Space
by Dane Allred
Past Connection
You can feel that past connection
With everyone and everything
From when we were all in the bright light
Together.
There is that residual effect
Where one part of you connects
With another part of the universe
Somewhere distant
But still calling to you
And you are calling to it.
Remember the time we were all one
And we were content?
We basked in the glow of that bright light
And felt that nothing could ever separate us
Nothing could make us want to be apart
Nothing could be better than that time when
We were all one.
But perhaps the brightness blinded us
To what we would have to lose
When we went into the darkness
And gathered ourselves into a separateness
To wonder about that past connection we feel.
We wanted to experience all there was to know
To return and share all we had learned
To understand how good and evil can exist together
And how some cling to the light still within in them
And how others are drawn into the darkness.
We left that perfect place for one less perfect
Knowing it was the only way we could know
All there was to know.
That in our separateness, we would search and reach,
We would learn to find each other again
And realize, we had never really parted.
Though darkness fills the sky
The light connects us.
Though we seem to be apart
We are all there ever was, ever is, and ever will be.
The unity remains, though the separateness seems overpowering.
We struggle to remember those bright moments when we were one
And nothing could have been better.
Unless there was a something, someplace better,
And we realized we had to find out on our own
To live our own individual experiences
To once again return and share
All that is meant by “being”
Because we will have been all there ever was, ever is or ever will be.
I can feel that past connection still.
