Miraculous Night

A tangerine moon glides across the sky; I am enamored, of its beauty. Twilight expires and gives way to dreamtime enchantments. A color swirl opens the door; behind it lay monsters. Faces shape shifting into familiar friends, are more than archetypes; they are swimmers in unconscious waters. The etheric ocean holds many secrets, possessing great wisdom; both a deadly and holy place; here we all must come. The mortal, is a perpetually swinging pendulum with no course. The soul is a traveler of realms unseen by mortal eyes; a journeyman; his life gathers much to live by; success is all around us. Mortality is a soul’s prison; it’s up to everyone to parole themselves. In freedom, we grow; we help others grow. The temple is within; the library is free; never closing its doors. To grow and progress a soul has no choice, but to read, each night. When Mother Moon sleeps, she brings new miracles into the coming nights; how I do love to sleep.

The course of a human's life - birth and death rhyme, wonder if initially whoever wrote the first English dictionary intended them to rhyme. Great write MLK. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer

This would have been more than enough " The mortal, is a perpetually swinging pendulum with no course. The soul is a traveler of realms unseen by mortal eyes; a journeyman; his life gathers much to live by; success is all around us." The rest was just showing off!
