ASCENDING

Underneath the star-filled dome,

Where dreams ascend and spirits roam,

In every soul’s quiet yearning 

A whisper of possibility is turning

Walk gently through this nocturnal vision 

Where all is not as it appears in your premonition  

Let hope be the lantern in the dark 

Welcoming the serenity that night’s embrace imparts. 

Though the path ahead is unknown, 

Seeds once sown will have grown 

Continue to dream, oh dreamer, do 

Unfurl your wings, oh butterfly, anew  

Beauty lives where it’s perceived 

The supreme ruler, the ultimate being, conceives. 

He fashioned me through the deepest parts of the sky

To ascend to the towering highs  

Should I falter, angels will catch my descent 

Fear not the ascent to heaven’s tent
