from Book of Love
Jon Leon
Holy Fire
I give my love to God
so that God can give it to you
I feel I am always right there
kneeling
you write to me in letters
of the stone upon your altar
and I wonder, have you dispensed with all named things
regarding the path I had begun before our last meeting
according to these notes
I had begun a process to aid those in my company
in the spring of the previous year
about the third month
what I have been able to demonstrate
I live in that presence
I don't even call God God
many have no idea
what bliss I serve
may those who have ears 
may they hear 
I have never blasphemed the Holy Spirit
I tell you 
it was like the way it was in the colony
speaking only awesome gospels
I didn't understand then that 
the body of believers
were to love this life in secret 
my sister, this is the happiest moment of my life
I write to you from the kingless realm
when I tell you where it is—
you will watch your world now in blazes
Book of Love
dear friends and initiates 
I know you are scattered across the land 
many of you 
I can scarcely remember 
because of the distance 
from the time of my philippic
it has been nigh seven years since, I left this world 
remember 
it was in the time of Paul Thomas Anderson's 
The Master
in which I wondered, then
if impossible things were possible simply
because they said they were not 
I did not know then where the spirit would lead me
since that time
I have lived the life of a contemplative 
in places I barely recognize 
because of the division 
and the suffering that comes 
it is everywhere 
now look here 
I write of the Word that liberates all beings
but it is in me 
who will take it out 
they were mistaken 
as if one so called would practice remarkable works in front of groups
for their own sake 
they don't read this 
for free people, and those who desire freedom 
love that loves us
and those who have not yet acknowledged their desire 
I assure you: there is darkness within the darkness
from the center of eternity—
from whence it comes
take off your raiment 
that grace and peace be with you in abundance
