the radish sprouts
push green through earth—
every job on my list today
seems quite easy

It rhymes,
this light
that shines
in me
each time
I shed
the shuck
of self,
rhymes with
this light
in you

Look what happens
given warmth
given light—
deep fields of shining bloom
and every moment
is
forever

After we break
we learn there is always
more to break
and
O
the more
we break the more
our light radiates

stepping
into the morning sun
oh and oh!
so sweet to be
reminded
my own light
so little
and not
even
mine

It was dim
then
starless
who would guess
this was a gift
now whatever path
there is
is lit
by my own
light

Even the tiniest
coldest
most distant
atoms
in the universe
release
light
my dear one
it is not
so dark

This is the first in a series of 84-character poems on radiance, one of the 11 powers of the universe that Brian Swimme outlines in EnlightenNext. He writes, “In my view, the power of radiance is an expression of the mysterious way in which the universe cannot contain the magnificence it houses. Instead, it is compelled to express itself in ten million different ways.”

And when ten thousand
million
of us realize
our souls rhyme
what will we do then
with our guns
our hands

If a butterfly flutter in Brazil
can cause a Texas tornado
no wonder
I felt on the wind today
your hands

last night’s snow
fills in the spaces
where we’ve been
so many emptinesses
in our wake
some never fill
