Bright Space
by Dane Allred
Light
There is light and darkness
Joy and suffering
Life and death
And so many opportunities to experience the extremes in this life.
As we journey along the path our life leads us
Wondering what each day will bring
We rejoice at the times our lives are filled with light
Remembering what happiness the glow can bring us
And how it makes us filled with light
It makes us feel light
And we want to hold onto that feeling forever
There is a reason we love the light
And fight against the darkness
There is a reason we are drawn to the light
Dancing like moths before a flame
Trying to reach the light
Hoping to become the light
Wondering how something so glorious
Could exist.
We are light.
We were in the Bright Space together
And knew the joy of the light
It filled us and inspired us.
Our work was to celebrate that Bright Space
Where all of us experienced the joys of every individual
But a time came when knowing all there was to know was not enough
Being together limited what we could know
And there was no way to learn anything more
Unless we came here on our own to experience the light and the dark of our individual lives.
We remember vaguely the Bright Space and the happiness we felt when we were all together
We remember vaguely our association one with another in that glorious light.
When we bask in the light of the day,
We recapture a bit of the joy we once had,
When we struggle in the darkness, we are reminded of the journey we are making
To learn all that we can learn
Until our journey is finished
And we return to that Bright Space to add our voice
With our own experiences.
Then we will truly know all there is to know
And the light within us will compliment the Bright Space
And we will no longer have to live on borrowed light.
