I am but one of many
Come in the long, dark night
You may not know me by name
But by power, force, and might
You might think of us as soldiers
Volunteered to save this earth
And give rise to a peaceful world
By right of mankind’s birth
We come not seeking glory
We are not here for your acclaim
But brethren, please know this
Once we’re done,
Things won’t be the same
There exists no army to stop us
No battalion could strike us down
For we are empowered by love
The best enforcer around
Don’t look for wings upon us
We’re no longer of the sky
Long ago we did forego
That which set us aloft so high
We are stationed all over your world
In every corner and nook
By year, we grow in number
You have only but to look
We are the sons and daughters
Of the great one beyond the sky
And we come here to represent
To exalt and to glorify
For you, a downtrodden race
Who’ve completely forgotten your worth
You lie about in your shame
Plagued by sorrow, adversity, and dearth
Rise up now, Adonai’s children!
Don’t you know?
We are one and the same?
Stop looking to point a finger
There is no one to admonish or blame
Look but to yourself for power
Look but to yourself for might
For when you remember your worth
‘Tis you who will rule the night!
My brothers and sisters, please hear me
The love that you seek is here!
But never will your eyes spy it
So long as you exist in fear
Your soul has been sullied by guilt
Your spirit is reeking of shame
But I ask you this question, my loves
Do you not know from whence you came?
So noble were your beginnings
So lofty, so regal, so proud
And now you scuttle about
Your truth lost to the earthen shroud
I beg of you, please remember!
For the end of an era is nigh
We are not beholden to earth
Let us return to the sky!
Rise up now sons and daughters!
For I am the truth that sings
I shall sing but for to reveal you
That you might recall your wings
Then we shall fly home together
Not in body, but in mind
And the earth will inherit the future
That was always meant for mankind
And we’ll build a new world together
We shall bless it with mesh and gold
Bit by bit, and piece by piece
Paved with truth and love, as foretold
Yes, we will give rise to a story
But still there’s much planning to do
Oh my dear ones, please remember!
Do you not know the writer is you?!
In you alone, lies the power
In you alone, waits the glory
We come but to remind you
You are the heroes of your story.

‘Sanctus Dei, nobis revelare’ is Latin for ‘holy God, reveal us.’ While writing the poem, ‘sanctus Dei’ came to me. I’m not sure why, as I’ve not studied Latin in this lifetime, and yet Latin words occasionally appear in my mind when writing about subject matters relating to God.
‘Adonai’ is an archaic term for God.
Reconsider
Reconsider
by Carolyn Glackin
I’ve forgotten who told me
That the world wasn’t good
But needless to say
They misunderstood
For here there is beauty
Untouched by man
All in accordance
With nature’s plan
Here there are blue skies
And rivers and seas
Flowers that bloom
Mountains and trees
There is rugged terrain
There are prairies and brooks
There are valleys and fjords
Unheard of in books
There are animals
Of all shapes and sizes
There are beautiful sunsets
And gorgeous sunrises
There are islands and jungles
Where ripened fruits grow
There are tundras and glaciers
Adorned with fresh snow
There are sun drenched deserts
Gladly cooled by the moon
There are star kissed skies
That make lovers swoon
There are caverns and caves
As well as moors and plains
And with all of this beauty
There’s no room for disdain
Our world is comprised of
Magic and mystery
As well as all kinds of people
Culture and history
This world is a blessing
It’s our gift to uphold
And we must care for it
As time has foretold
So please do not question
Whether the world is good
But instead ask yourself
If you’ve misunderstood.

Beloved
Blessed
by Carolyn Glackin
Beloved, I have loved you
Far beyond what I thought
One heart could give
And truly, it’s for you
That I’m here, that I live
I am but a mere
Specter of the Light
Existing in this chaos
Burning forever bright
And from the
Earthen shackles
I’m long since freed
I come here not
Through karma
But rather,
I’m born out of need
For I have heard
Your children’s cries
So deep within my heart
And I won’t let them go unanswered
So I come to do my part
And it’s my great joy
To come to this place through you
To anchor love in this dimension
And embody it too
To serve all of humankind
In the name of the Light
To make sure no one walks alone
On their darkest night
To remind your children
How dearly we are loved
For we are miracles enfleshed
Who hail from up above
And it’s my sacred duty
And solemn vow
To witness you in them always
In the eternal moment of now
Beloved, thank you! Thank you!
Truly, we are blessed
To come here in your name
That we might come to know you best
For there is so much good
Here on this Earth
There is laughter, there is music
There is life and rebirth
There are the unending glories
That dear Gaia bestows
And the sacred mysteries
That only heaven knows
There’s the hope that lives on
In the heart of man
There’s the faith that sustains us
That we might uphold your plan
There are vexations aplenty
But to those, I give my attention not
And instead I live in gratitude
For all that is, for all I’ve got
There’s kinship of spirit
That alights in the hearts
Of those who remember
And are here to do their part
There are blessings of all manner
And miracles abound too
When we set our sights on your glory
And choose to see only you
And so, ’tis for these reasons
That my heart sings your name
And I offer you praise
Until the end of my days
Beloved, I humbly ask of you
The following things
Let me see through your eyes
Let me love through your heart
Let mine be the same song
Your spirit sings
Let me uphold goodness
Let me teach only love
And whenever I fall
Let me rise above
May I see your reflection
In all that lives
Let mine be a heart
That always loves and forgives
May I be ever humble, grateful and kind
And most of all, may I bear in mind
That every moment spent here
From the time of our birth
We’ve been the blessed
And the blessing
Upon this Earth.

The Invitation
The Invitation
by Carolyn Glackin
Dearest, I have loved you
Well beyond the confines of time
With a heart far bigger than my own
With songs of praise
And endless rhymes
With prayers of devotion
I’ve spoken your sacred name
As I sang you into existence
Here with me, on this earthly plane
Thus we are now immortal
Eternal in our love
We exist outside of human law
In a holy place above
And nothing here can touch us
For all here is but a dream
And I have loved us whole
We’re more real than we may seem
Impervious to duality
Karma no longer scathes us
For the song that sings us here
When sung, is the one that saves us
Though darkness may surround us
No longer can it seep in
In our heart, there lies a fortress
That sustains the light within
And my love is reflected outward
In hopes that all will know
The softness of its touch
As I hold them in its glow
And my heart song calls out to them
“Remember why you came”
“Listen, and remember ”
“I’m calling you by name”
I know not all will hear it
But there are those that will
And they’ll waken from their slumber
And give up all their pills
Life will be brand new
As their mind is now set free
Their hearts are cleansed of sorrow
Their eyes can truly see
Each time that it happens
There’s rejoicing up above
And reunions with the soul
Who at last, returned to love
For whether here or there
No matter how far apart
We all remain as one
When joined within our heart
And I am but an essence
Housed within this skin
Here to do my part
That you might truly live again
No mortal coil doth chain me
To this world of ours
I exist beyond this realm
In the cosmos with the stars
But your cries have touched my heart
So I’ve come back to this place
To love this world whole
To free the human race
To release the veils that blind you
That you might see your holy light
Thus bringing to an end
The soul’s darkest night
The time is now upon us
We’ve paid our dues in full
Please listen for my song
It’s calling to your soul
You’re grander than you know
And far wiser than you think
A miracle enfleshed
Now standing at the brink
For now the time is nigh
Lo! Verily, I say
There are choices to be made
Awaiting us this day
So I’m holding out my hand
And I’m singing to your heart
I’m asking you to join me
In the thoughts that I impart
I hold a space of love
For all to enter in
Remember now my loves!
Through us, a new world begins
I’m the song that keeps on singing
I’m the song that has no end
I sing my song for you
Come sing with me dear friend!

A Tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I’m reposting this tribute piece that I wrote last year. My hope is that not only will we keep Dr. King’s dreams alive, but that we’ll also bring them to fruition.
Blessings,
Carolyn Glackin
Dear Dr. Martin Luther King,
I don’t mean to bother you
While you’re up there soaring
On your well deserved angel wings
I just wanted to talk to you
You know, say a few things
It might seem that this world
Has forgotten you at first glance
But that would never happen sir
No, not a chance
You see Dr. King,
You taught us a great deal while you were here
You showed us there was light in the dark
And taught us there was bravery in fear
Dr. King, this surely is your day
But I would never want you to assume
That it’s the only one
In which I remember you this way
You see, I took your lessons to the heart
So it doesn’t matter
That we’re now far apart
I know things here are looking ominous and scary
I know that many hearts
Are full of fear
And souls are weary
And though the hour
In the history of this world
Is growing late
I know we’ll be just fine Dr. King
Because you taught us
To find the love in hate
Thank you for shining your light
Into this world dear Dr. King
You did more good
Than you could ever know
And you sure did earn
Those angel wings.
Eternally grateful,
Carolyn Glackin

Paradigm Shift
Old, archaic
Monolithic regime
Rigid, unwavering
Stuck in the dream
Oppressive, outdated
Time to give in
Corrupt, beleaguered
They won’t let us win
A stirring, a calling
A new dream is born
Old versus new
The people are torn
Capricious, compelling
Humankind on the brink
Time to reclaim our power
Time to voice what we think
Sophic, subversive
A new world emerging
Sanctified, unified
Awakened minds converging
A dawning, a rebirth
An old slate wiped clean
A prophecy plays out
Better than foreseen
Sanctified, glorified
Released from affliction
A new day arises
Angels sing our benediction.

Knight and Day
Knight and Day
by Carolyn Glackin
He was a dream within a dream
An echo of vibrations
That reached across time
He had a heart that beat for mine
He was the manifestation
Of a promise made
So long ago
In a sunny glade
He was the truth
Come to life
In earthly flesh
With blue eyes
He was the reminder
That I’d always need
To know myself
To remain free
And through him
I called myself home
There in my heart
Through the love he’d shown
He was my touchstone
My angelic reminder
Of worlds that were softer,
gentler, and kinder
And through our union
Two would be one
One heart, one mind
And work to be done
For we shared a mission
Right here, on this earth
The restoring of peace
Through love, a rebirth
Together we’d walk
Through the dark
As the Light
I was his day
And he, my knight.

One
I tend not to think in terms of ‘mine/theirs,’ ‘his/hers,’ ‘us/them,’ ‘our country/their country,’ ‘my people/their people.’ There is one world, one love, and one people. My heart, my mind, and my love know no borders; because despite the ongoing illusion/delusion of separation, all is one. We are all fashioned by the same hand of the same creator. We all possess the same spark of the divine. We are all the intricately, interwoven detail of All That Is. Each of us, both singularly and collectively, make up the I AM presence. We are one and the same. I AM of you as you are of me and together, we are All That Is. May we, as a people, wake up to the truth of this reality and embrace our oneness so that we may begin living in peace and unity.
Love and blessings,
Carolyn Glackin

Let Love Rule!
Love is the best teaching modality that humankind has at it’s disposal. Thus far, fear has been predominantly employed for most purposes; and while it is effective, we must question how well people really learn when their cortisol levels are skyrocketing and their life is at stake. On the other hand, when love is employed for purposes of teaching and leading (i.e., political leaders), people feel safe and respected, cortisol levels are normal, and the fight or flight response is not triggered. The other main difference is that people are far more likely to be willing participants when treated with love and respect; so it stands to reason that love should be utilized in all situations in regard to teaching our young and leading our nations. The best way to start? With our own selves, in our own homes, and in our communities. If we can extend it that far, from there it’ll have a snowball effect throughout the world. If we must have a leader, let love rule.
-Carolyn Glackin ♡
