I Am No Barrier
(Or, "The Light And I Are As One")
I am no barrier to its sun;
the light and I are as one.
-Paul Whiting
(a.k.a., Three Dark Horses)
"I am the darkness which brings the light!"
My Spiritual Notes:
The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: I wrote this poem in order to convey how close that I felt to "The Light Of God," once I finally understood what that light is for us humans: it is "God's Inner Light!"
You see, I was always taught by my upbringing in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ("The Mormon Church") that you should be close to God; but they didn't really explain how to be close to God, they just said that you should be close to God! And it wasn't until faced my fears of being gay and I came out of the closet—and felt "The Inner Light Of God"—that I finally understood the how and the why of being close to God: "Total Emotional Honesty With Yourself!"
And this poem was also published on my "Small All White in the Forest" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blogs (please see the hyperlinks below for the blogs), since I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message that I am trying to convey through "Small All White in the Forest" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer."
This poem was written in Salt Lake City, Utah.
