Notes About The Poem

Shaman

I did not choose, I was chosen
the gate and keeper;
killer and cure

life not mine for living
walking paths you cannot see 
talking tongues you do not know

I am the light burning inside
the darkness at the shore
that shadow in the corner

eyes, windows to be shared
extramundane -
soul searcher, truth sayer, circle squared

I am ancient numinosity
no idle curiosity
- I see the end
