“There Is A Light Within You” by Chelan Harkin

There Is A Light Within You, by Chelan Harkin
There is a light that is always within you –
you cannot be truly rejected. 

There is a light
that is always within you
that the Universe warms Herself on – 
you can never be truly alone. 

You are made from the Essence
of the breath of life- 
what bad salesmen
has convinced you
that death could be real?

 As we un-spin ourselves
from illusion
we find everything we’ve always sought
 has always been

tinkling from within —
the richness 
of the Universe
like a coy little secret
in our chests

and bit by bit we discover
there was never 
any shortage
of God.
