Never born, never dying,
The Light came into darkness
Dispelling cacophonous dreams
Awakening the dreamer to the Self.

Here and Now,
Upon the alter of Truth,
Where Memory of Perfection abides,
The Gift of Reality
Calls the dreamer of the dream to Awake;

A rugged cross is not a burden
But delusion guilt upholds;
An alter to death that the world be real,
And by that
Believe what is True is not True Forever.

Not to See what does not exist,
Gently undoing the belief darkness is real,
Such is the Lily of Forgiveness —
Kind, Loving and Eternally Grateful;

No sacrifice,
No loss,
No death,
Was ever True
And now the dream is gone,
Its Translation to Perfection complete.

Devotion shares Itself
and extends That which is True;
There is no cross says Love,
"My burden IS Light and Joy forever."

The idea for this painting came from ACIM Chapter 4. THE ILLUSIONS OF THE EGO, I. Right Teaching and Right Learning
