Poem
Written: May 23, 2025, for contest by Unseeking Seeker Line of inquiry: “Being mistook, we burnt the book thoughts rest, we dwell in our heart’s nest touched by spirit, our body shook by God’s light blest as we undressed” **************** In the dimness of mirage sequined dreams, Vehemently, we tread thorny streams. We unwittingly drew from sacred tomes— Sizzling secrets in our soul's quiet homes The dye of wisdom turned to ash and haze, Our voices waned in the flames of daze. It was still warm, but a spark began to stir, A whisper is heard in a magician soft whirr. Views tucked away in a tender, tranquil nest, A sanctuary sculpted snugly in the soul's zest. Where whispered wishes and wobbly whims wane, In this coxswain oasis, all our hearts find fain. A chauvinistic cobweb amid a sepal storm, A periwinkle pledges, the pandemonium warms. A place where silence eases the mayhem we bear— And the stories of our hearts lay steadily bare. Metamorphosis gives us the aptitude to bend, A caterpillar breaks out from its tight cocoon. Rising brilliant, rejuvenated, and transcendent— Turned under the changing rose-glazed moon. Every scar represents wars fought within, A record of growth and consent supports a win. A sparkling raw start arises from the shadows, A seraphic climb, a sparkle from the heart arrows. With each metamorphosis, the aged fade away, The self melds into the boundless expanse of day. Ascending fiercely, akin to a phoenix in flight, With wings unfurling to embrace endless light. Let us ignite the scripts that once held us last, And cram our hearts where love and truth are vast. Touched by divinity, our spirits entwined, In perpetual transitions, in sacred grace, we find. Through our metaphor, we learn to discern. Continuous twirling of the form we yearn. A trek both inward and outward to foresee, An odyssey leading toward peace, unceasingly.
