Awakening

 


Shroud of the night, ghostly white

Envelopes all the land 
In the deepest of slumbers.

A mystic by birthright 
Who offers
Fleeting glimpses of insight

Alas, the songbirds with their dawn chorus
Herald the time of awakening

As Eros leaves Psyche's side
The time is nigh
To uncover all that is hidden

The coaxing warmth of the sun
Stirs the earth from her langour

As the mist bids a reluctant retreat 
How glorious be this miracle
That renews it's promises 
Day by day




The Journey

 




Triumphant are those first moments,

The announced arrival of a train, pulling into it’s station,
Carrying you onwards on a journey mandated.

With time left behind and a distilled sense of the future.

A screeching halt foreshadow moments to come, 
Forever frozen in the frames of the mind.

Yet the pilgrimage continues, seemingly undeterred

Glimpses of deep exhilaration can be spied in the blurred chaos
Echoes of a great sense of stillness and peace,

Rippling through the submerged universe...

Each one a master of their destiny

Yet a novice to fate
