Your Opposition


Opposition rises all around

from all quarters,

from decay and disintegration.

impermanence and indecision

darkness still reigns from imperfect thoughts.

rootedness is about specific conditions 

not perfect ones

You must seek the Truth                                  

It does not hide from you

but you must strip yourself bare. . .

figuratively.

Know yourself; know the light

within you. It shines with a brilliance all can see.

It conquers all opposition for all

opposition is created by you your own doubts,

your own fears.

The light that shines within you is a gift

let it shine for others to see

Let it shine for you to see

and change your life forever.

I am a retired high school and college professor. The last 10 years of my teaching was as a college professor of literature and writing. I have self-published one book of prayers and meditations and am preparing another book of poetic odes to faith and love. I am truly honored to be welcomed into this group.
