 The Awakening

Once upon a time long ago I was sent twin angels of Love,
As messengers of all God is and all He says, and does,
I didn't know it right away; they were destined for greatness, it seemed,
Thusly, all about their excellency - I'd pridefully prattle and preen...

My wee, handsome men oozed with curiosity; engaging with everything!
I barely could keep up with them and their insatiable needs,
To experience all of Reality through totally physical means,
And no matter the level of stimulation, they never were fully pleased!

We stroked their genius, praised their advances, predicted how far they would go,
For "No little boys were quite like ours; the world would stand up on it's toes,
To get anywhere near their greatest achievements !!", this was plain to see:
No better sons were ever born in the land of parental dreams...

They developed with each childish pleasure; the world was a toy in their hands,
They were masters of their universe, two kings of all their lands!!!
Therefore, it was quite a shock when they withdrew in Abdication,
From all we'd loved and gained to "just" become Autistic Angels...

All of their subjects grew forlorn for their hopes had all disappeared,
And strange, little changelings took their places and acted as if WE weren't there!!
Our panic set in, the music died, and the dancing all came to an end,
For all the king's horses and all the king's men - proved - they had no REAL rescue in hand !!!

And, thusly, began the whole revelation my angels were sent to bring,
To open my eyes, my mind, my heart, to this world's most specious teachings,
For I found within this forced Solitude, we'd joined a special vocation,
With the chosen families of the whole Earth to witness this situation...

No longer was my consciousness closed to my neighbors all around me,
No longer were my eyes just on us and our beautiful, healthy babies,
For now we were one with the rest of the world; our illusions fell like the snow,
Melting on The Ground Zero - of Spectrums - as low as one humbly can go...

Yet, in that Equity I was surprised to find the Love that I'd craved;
Wholeness had been right there all along in the offering of perfect Grace,
Fixing the lack of acceptance - of each other - and the plight that binds,
Us all to the Universal FACT : "We all share the SAME level of LIFE!!!"

No one is really higher or better than anyone else on this Earth,
And all of the words confessing it's so cannot give a person more worth..
Riches can't buy it, works can't achieve it; we just have to come to The Light,
Admitting once - for Eternity - that this is the ONE, TRUE Design !!!

Thusly, these messengers showed us the cure for the blindness of human hearts,
They shared their "Sensitivities" and their EMPATH-izing arts.
Their Equality needed no definitions, no sermons, research or study,
For it simply is each BREATH OF LIFE I SHARE with my best buddies...

Then, lo and behold, the gates opened wide and we joined them where THEY went,
We entered the place where love knows no "bounds", no "measurements", and no "limits"..
We'd broken past the labels of man and entered a world based on being,
Where we sat with our sons just enjoying THEIR life while enriched with much deeper meaning...

So, if you ask me if this was all worth it, my answer would be : "YES!!",
My sons have taught me much more than the books filled with all that man "hath professed".
They may never read a word of what's in them, but they passed every one of their tests,
For all that they've shared and inspired in me knows no greater height of success...

Someday the rest of the world may embrace all that our families know,
Who have been blessed with Autistic Angels sent straight from Heaven above,
To show us the way to rule is not as if we were KINGS with FREE-choice,
But as the SERVANTS of the most helpless - as if we TOO have NO voice!!

I'll wait for that moment with baited breath and have all the bells ready to ring,
For on that day Autism will die and ALL of our angels will sing!!!
Man's lack of humility will be over and all will go home to stay,
In The Kingdom in which the "LOWLY" are WISE -

where ALL of the children await....

"Ye must become as little children to enter the Kingdom of Heaven...."
