Sigh

Be silent 
In this moment 
Of learning, 
Observe with gratitude, 
And make ready 
To receive your counsel, 
For it is now 
Sweet wisdom is born. 

Do not rush 
Comprehension, 
Merely love yourself 
As you become augmented 
By subtleties 
You will not recognize. 
Be forgiving 
Of this path you've chosen. 

Your higher power understands 
The urgency 
With which you live 
And knows the fractured mirrors 
Of your sanity 
Awaiting redemption. 
Take faith 
In your full acceptance. 

No matter when you get there, 
Enlightenment will visit 
The shores of your Spirit 
And drink deeply 
From the peace 
Dwelling amongst the crevices 
You've carved 
With your own choices. 

Be quiet my friend. 
Hear the future sigh.
