We Are Beings Of Light - A Poem by M.N. Hopkins

We are beings of Light

Surrounded by images of darkness

Darkness directed

By those of dark determination

Who are weak of mind

And will

Separated from Spirit

Easily influenced

And

Corrupted

Dimming their vision

As they dim ours

Distracting our thoughts

Our emotions

Away from

Self-reliance

Self-determination

Self-direction

Self control

Until the day of illumination

When Light is unleached

Projected outward again

Pushing the darkness further away

Then

Once again

We are beings of Light

Yes

Beings of Light

Directed by Self

Directed by

Love

Note:  This poem first took form very early this morning before arising to start my day.  I was given a few lines and later worked with the words are more came to me and this is the final result.  It is in a sense a revision of the poem that I wrote one day before and published this morning.

This was written today, September 19, 2013.
