Love and Light

A Poem by UMS Student Julie Loukus

If it is all about yin and yang and balance and flow,

then, when peace is made more bombs will blow.

If it is all about being politically correct,

then both of New York's Twin Towers would still be erect.

If it is all about everything being equally black and white,

then our laws wouldn't be laced with only shades of ambiguous gray

and would actually support what is right!

If the sky was only blue and the grass always green,

then people would have no reason to be so mean.

So for those of you who only follow the universal flow,

then you could find yourself stuck into one cycle of life

with nowhere else to go.

If you don't fight the current and try to understand the essence of your soul,

then you may find yourself losing focus and living out robotic days with no spiritual goal.

And when your gut feeling reminds you that there is more to life,

Explore where this notion comes from and then what it means into afterlife.

Now your head is spinning and yoga instructor preaches following Buddha,

while others starve your brain of oxygen like a Barracuda.

Some people feel there is no hope, and go through the motions of day,

remember to eat right, hug their loved ones and never once pausing to pray.

And as time goes on, the darkness offers no hope

so many will still forget God and choose to follow their horoscope.

The drumming in your head is pounding and your breath is weak

Once strong, now nothing but weak.

The days seem so long and air so dry,

and now nothing is left in your heart to even be able to cry.

You look to the left and then the right,

all you do is feel cornered, and prepare to fight.

You feel trapped like a bird in a rusty cage,

and the more you contemplate your option, the more you fill with rage.

Still, forgetting to seek God's grace in light and love,

you now turn towards ways to face hell... still ignoring the power and support from heaven above.

There is a knock at your door and so you cock your loaded gun

there, in your face, is a middle eastern nun.

She tells you she is Persian and asking people to worship the moon

and if you ignore her warning, days before your death will be only filled with gloom.

Now your brain is in overdrive and you have no where to turn

you contemplate the temperature of hell and how fast you'll burn.

All these options to choose from and no one is right,

Then, you see a white dove fly... leading your eyes towards the light.

Your eyes drop salt water and your heart begins to pound,

 and in that moment, the earth was beautiful and not just a battleground.

You felt this hint of hope and dash of joy

and in that moment you knew there was so much left in life to enjoy.

You closed that door and dropped to your knees

and bowed your head contemplating how you could secure these positive guarantees.

And then your heart warmed and instead of worrying about darkness, you looked towards the light,

This simple prayer offered more to your days than preparing to fight.

Light and love filled your veins and you felt so surreal,

You prayed out for the first time for God to reveal.

Your hands begin to tingle and heat with perfection.

You intuitively placed them together and felt your solar plexus radiate like the sun.

All these past years of following flow was missing one thing,

the belief in God's love and light was how to bring upswing.

God's people may need love, balance, and yoga hereof,

and when we honor ourselves and each other... we honor God's light and love...

There is MORE than balance here on earth.

God's light and love radiates throughout and beyond this entire UNIVERSE!
