Two Poems

Breath of Grace

The Light within shines bright and clear
Tho’ darkened worlds may mock and sneer
They’ve not awakened from their fears
Nor seen the Vision shining here

They bend their heads in pious shame
From karmic nightmares look to blame
A fate which burns a fiery flame
Leaves still an embered rage to tame

But listen to Love’s whispered call
The chance to fly comes with each fall
Spread forth thy wings, leap from thy wall
To gain, you must surrender all

The Voice has rested in this place
Where ne’er do time nor fear erase
Like beams of light across this face
Awakened by each breath of Grace

Eleven

In dreams a dreary world I trod--
A weary vagabond alone,
Forgetting Home, set out abroad,
Lost on strange paths I was but one.

'Til, lo! a light shone cross my brow.
Its lustre warmed as noonday sun.
I reveled in sweet morning's glow
And took communion with the One.

Awakened by transcendant call,
The fear of lonliness was gone,
Discovered Self in step with All--
A Holy Dance as one with One.

--Pamela Dawn
