”T’was the Night Before New Thought”
by Scott DeMarco
T’was the night before New Thought,
And my house of cards,
Was falling around me,
My life painful shards!
My life was a mess, my thoughts full of dread,
While hope for a miracle danced in my head.
The edges were tattered on my thinking cap,
As I settled my brain for a long winter’s nap.
My thoughts were not peaceful, they made such a clatter,
I dreamed of transforming my thoughts into matter!
I fell and I fell to the deepest of sleep,
My heart and my mind took a big quantum leap!
When what to my wondering mind should appear
A new thought of Self-hood!
An end to my fear!
A glimmering spark of divinity shown,
I knew in an instant it must be my own!
On Light! On Love!
On Life and on Power!
On Peace! On Beauty!
Pour joy like a shower!
I sprang from my bed, like Lazarus did,
And woke up renewed, like a curious kid!
A fluttering within, like wings of a dove,
My heart was ablaze with a glorious love!
I spoke not a word, but I knew what I know,
And I let my light shine, and then felt it grow!
It was bigger than anything I’d ever seen,
I wondered in awe—what did it all mean?!
My thoughts were all rosy, my worries adrift,
A feeling of One-ness!
A huge conscious shift!
I sprang to my life, my thinking was new,
And away my intentions on blessed wings flew.
And now I declare in intuitive sight,
I live in the moment!
Goodbye, my dark night!
