My muse is animated anytime I sit silently Awaiting sleep stoically sliding into A sacred onyx veil of poignant peace as if it is my personal death angel For we all yearn for eternal rest Never knowing what we will find Within the final moments of slumber To wake again perhaps a curse If you journey beyond this existence Shedding earthly body gaining growth Becoming light pouring into the universe As I slip into the void of this endless black I feel relaxed and soothed by a higher Consciousness as a piece of a puzzle I fit My rebirth from this body is like awakening Silver stars guide me through a tunnel Where my next journey awaits I hear and feel ancestral heartbeats My anxiety is peeled like an orange The fruit of my spirit blends with light I have only to submit to my calling If I am ready for the next level I gain a golden insight as I Open the third eye and find A rainbow of souls welcoming Like neon ornaments on a tree of life I feel love and fulfillment I know it is only a matter of maturity I feel the old world like sand on my feet Feet that no longer have a purpose As a new form I can submit to the New existing light or I can wake up And continue in the classroom called life
