Plenitude


"Plenitude" 

a full circle 

centre point 
the dream, it 
swiftly approaches

through storms
walking on oceans
like devotion 

bare feet take

glass surfaces
breaking 
the vigil

for the mirror bleed 

part of the waking
vessel displacement 
passing over rough seas

through fiery 
St Elmo tempest
glides Witchfire 

on the wings
of an albatross angel 
like mariner mystery

delivered 
through 
labyrinthine

forests reflecting
great depth
from the deepening 

symbols like music 
Hymn believed 
to be seen 

the way lit 
by St David’s 
candles

pinions stretched 
like great alms 
in the genuflect

a swollen offering 
the breath billows 
to tranquil tempest

leviathan 
brought to its knees
gifted in the anointed reprieve 

here the feeding
to undertow
inessential 

the shallows
dissolving 
in higher vibration

a full circle 
centre point
the dream closes

a small sleep 
then upon 
mortal coil shuffling
 
the scales 
weighed and shed 
a new time of rising

a new time of waking
the fast broken
forget hesitation 

take in the lost
words like wafers to host
on tongues never spoken

reprieve
plenitude
peace

the incomplete
complete
the circle not broken
