Awake

Awake

today I walked along the beach and heard a still but small still voice behind me
 frantic, it was a surreal moment of anxiety but entered peace through its bend
 the voice continued, "Seek me above all things lay hold of my stregnth & salvation".
 Wandering I through a rock into the surf I headed toward my blanket & rested
 the hours felt in twilight amidst the density of the twilight hour of meditation
 took my hand made for me to take flight to understand the masters plan you see
 thoughts permeated through my head as I thought I was the flame of the living dead
 for then I lied down and my sleep was sweet

 giving cadence toward the day onto a heightened pier near the rocks
 overhead seagulls fly and the sight of the Albatross passing
 remember me in times such as these cling free to me
 love lingers on with the faint of a song
 the setting of the sun
 Awake
