Midnight Poet

MIDNIGHT POET
In the telling of the tea leaves
from the light of candle flame,
is the vision of the coming
of more ways to stay the same.

From the fragrance of more incense
and the taste of sacred wine,
is the knowing of the reason
God has put it here to shine.

From the praying to the candle,
in the lighted crystal ball,
is a love forever turning
and the longing for it all.

In the praying for more reason
and the need to see the light,
are the words forever coming
from your dark and lonely night.

From the waking of the spirit
deep in night when you awake,
is the knowledge straight from Heaven
never given from mistake.

From the current of your river
through the deepest of your mind
you have found  the only reason
words are always yours to find.
