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
