The light that casts no shadow
glides into the canyons of your heart –
colors that you never saw
glow forth from all your deepest places

Things that you had feared
and your strategies to overcome them
suddenly are gone, as are the things
you didn’t like about yourself
with their attending judgments
and castigations

All those constructs of the dark
didn’t even need to be swept up
and casr away –
the light that fills you up
was all you needed.
