The Springs of Consolation

I that for so long Felt trapped in mind By spirals Of darkness Now find A way To be kind To the soul A substitution Of reaction To life’s stings For a drawing On the springs Of consolation. . Image by Claudia__ from Pixabay

The Light Woven

How is the light Woven through All of creation?   How is the light Part of the darkness And desolation?   Where is the light In all our confusion?   When here is the light, The benign consolation.

The Message

The message embracing pain              is so pervasive All know the terrible tearings             of the spirit The injuries inflicted             on our invisible selves And it is to the soul conscious             of its susceptibility to spiritual scars That the desolation of the cross             offers its way of consolation. ~

Infinities of Consolation

God is in all things God was In darkness and in mystery The silent voices speaking to me In bleak and blank experience To leave the solitary experiment Connect with all that links the soul To infinities of consolation The blessing of the spirit's long salvation.

Another Way of Healing

There is another way Of healing ~ And of being healed Accepting ~ A lifetime of pain And of revelation ~ Allowing The wounds ~ To be the way Of consolation. ~

In My Deepest Wound

~ In my deepest wound I saw ~ Your passion An astonishing ~ Moment Of consolation ~ A lifetime To come ~ Of Revelation. ~ "In my deepest wound I saw Your glory, and it astounded me." - St. Augustine ~

Awaiting Consolation

~ The soul endures so many shocks ~ Spirit hides its mystery ~ Yet locked inside the revelation ~ Awaiting the grace of consolation. ~
