The Substance Of My Being Illuminated Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

Every time I sit under the shade of my being
I am embraced by the light of nothingness
It is not the pot of materialism that occupies my mind
It is the substance of being that possess my mind set
All thoughts and emotions are poured out
A new sense is erected inside my being
This is a gigantic sense of listening (to the spirit)
It is quite an amazing state of being
This sacred sense is planted on the substance of being
It does not depend on light, sight and might or any contents of my mind
To brighten my day
It is the nothingness of the spirit that is illuminated
And this light is brighter than every thought or emotion
This is the flame or flare of awareness
It is the most beautiful sight in the whole of my existence
I am sharing this secret or mystery with you
Because I want you to know
That you have a solid foundation
A beautiful existence underneath your everyday hustle
Take some time off and be with yourself
Reach deep into your being
And unlock the door of heaven
It is the beauty of being
That will undress your fears, hopelessness and uncertainty
And address you with the loving heart of the spirit
This is the illuminated path of Light
The source of Faith, Hope and Love
