Journey Journal Page INTERLUDE By Leon Enriquez By light of grace Soul knows sure place In time and space Where echoes trace Here for a while Learn then to style Poise that thus smiles As grief greets wiles ~~~~~~~~ Show up with poise As inner voice Leaps above noise Beyond fate’s choice See that you see What yet hurls spree Of what may be True conscious free ~~~~~~~~~ Come let us go To sacred shores Discern yet more Deep placid core What might have been The way within Is yet unseen Both out and in ~~~~~~~~~ The way without A roundabout Where screams and shouts Frame empty bout Joy knows sorrow That feels hollow Glimpse not follow Sight’s blind morrow ~~~~~~~~~ Logic is blind Where reason binds Vain mind that finds An empty grind The way upwards Or else downwards Goes then backwards Ere way forward ~~~~~~~~~ Each thought attracts Or else distracts Both tact and fact Prompts how we act Unleash the pain That holds old reins In mad restrain That cuts blood veins ~~~~~~~~~ Know that you know Much more than show Through fast and slow Where anguish grows Worry seems vain In matters plain Where hurts thus gain Such vile refrains ~~~~~~~~~ Do all you can To hitch your plans With what you scan In wordplay stand Glimpse in deep light That vivid sight Feel that moves right In darkness bright ~~~~~~~~~ Purge all thoughts crude When truth strips nude More kind than rude Calm interlude Go on your way To pray and play With words that stay Your cosmic ray ~~~~~~~~~ Love calls in time To heed deep chimes Where hope strings rhymes As faith moves mimes Listen well here To discern cheer That draws you near To all things dear ~~~~~~~~~ Match thus goodwill As mystic thrill Comes forth with feel To bless and heal The path you take Is why you make What how now breaks More true than fake ~~~~~~~~~ Be kind to each As lessons teach You how to reach The why you preach In due season Deep feel reasons Touch and treason Love’s bright beacon ~~~~~~~~~ Stillness blooms still The subtle feel In strange appeal A profound will The way you see Frames what may be Tale and story From memory ~~~~~~~~~ Better to fail And yet prevail To ride the gale As you set sail Be of sound mind As heart now binds Soul flame you find In mystic signs ~~~~~~~~~ Choice knows true flow As poise charms glow Where voice does show Good cheer you know Start and end here With lavish cheer End and start steer Love held most dear ~~~~~~~~~ Leon Enriquez 10 January 2023 Singapore
