Spirituality Illuminated Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

In my stupidity
I listened to silence
Whispering sweet nothings
I relented to its wish
To bind my hands and mind
And seal my lips
I agreed to be consumed
Swallowed whole by the mouth of silence
I was not afraid of the unknown
I held onto the hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel
I did not know what kind of universe I was entering
I did not want to lean onto my fears
And scatter my hopes
I was willing to drink from this mysterious well
Not knowing that true Light
Come out of nothingness
I followed the footsteps of silence
Into the heart of Love
I couldn't believe it
When I stood before the mirror
And saw my nakedness
My ego dethroned
I was inside the chamber of light
In my nakedness
I saw the Truth
And my existence ceased to exist
As I melted into the realm of the spirit
Far away from the eyes of man
I was alone inside the aloneness
I was nothing inside nothingness
All my hopes and my thoughts
Were meaningless
All my desires and fears
Were scattered
I was truly naked
And my nakedness
Was made of hope, faith and Love
This knowledge was beyond logic
I could not admit to myself
That I was the ocean of consciousness
I was the beauty in every flower
I was the Love in every heart
I was the light in every eye
I was the solid monument of hope
I was the Truth
I was the Love
I was eternity
Then i woke up from this marvellous dream
Possessed by the mysterious spell of Love
Illuminated by the sacred Light
I was home
Totally dressed in life
I am a spirit poet
