I Beg of You Holy Ones<\/strong><\/p>\n

Perhaps, like me,
\nYou\u2019ve been
\ntaught that the
\nConscious Creativity
\nthat birthed
\nwhat We can\u2019t quite
\ncapture or contain
\nwhen We say
\nLove,<\/p>\n

That Lover
\nwho warned us
\nthat dividing
\nthe Mind of
\nYour Beautiful
\nSoul<\/p>\n

into compartments
\nof Good and Evil
\nwill feel like
\nDeath,<\/p>\n

when Your
\nAdorable Soul
\nwas woven from
\nLight,
\nto find Adventures
\nin the Art of
\ncreating Life<\/p>\n

that will never
\nstop expanding
\ninto Libraries
\nand Galleries
\nand Dancehalls
\nand Theaters
\ndevoted to
\nExhibitions
\nof Beauty<\/p>\n

that deny entry
\nto the Cadres of
\nuniformed Priests
\nwho have been hired
\nto place signs
\nin the aisles
\nreading
\nGood or Evil.<\/p>\n

Denied entry
\nbecause
\nExhibitions of Love
\nhave no use
\nfor such signs.<\/p>\n

I beg of You
\nHoly Ones,
\ntake off
\nYour uniforms and
\nput on these
\nrobes sewn
\nfrom Light.<\/p>\n

And, for goodness sake,
\nlet Beauty
\nburn away
\nYour Fear.<\/p>\n
