Sonnettics

The memory of truth comes rushing in
There’s more to life than stories we’ve been told
Repentance isn’t overcoming sin
It’s transformation found like veins of gold

The gold that’s found within the waking heart
Shines brighter than the gold on temple spires
It knows where it belongs; it knows its part
It recognizes all your needs, desires

Like Mary of Magdala found the place
Where resurrection means that one is free
She turned and stayed in quiet simple grace
She knew that truth was simply meant to be

And we can find it too, this sacred art
Within an open mind and open heart.

Divinity assumes you’re not divine
As if there’s something else you must become
Come show me yours and I will show you mine
The essence that exists where God is from

But wait, we know that God is everywhere
Divinity, like God, is out there too
And yet within as well, ok, that’s fair
Within, without, we’re God, both me and you

Breathe in and know that God has filled your chest
With life that touches everything you feel
Perception is divinity at best
Exhale and feel it shatter every seal

Divinity’s already what you are
A lump of flesh and yet a shining star.
