The Gift of Elevation
It is a lonely existence,
which came with this thing I desired
and was given freely
I wanted to be lifted above
the ordinary and mundane plane of reality
This gift, which was given to me free,
spiritually elevated me
Now the things revealed,
the things I see,
has transformed me
into a into a new, breathing entity
This is what the gift of elevation has done for me
But it is a lonely existence,
very lonely
On this higher plane of consciousness,
very few transverse this holy space
O that I had a mate
who would love to live
in this special elevated place
The few souls I have encountered
in this rare heightened existence,
we welcome each other's company
We greet, commune ...
break bread and eat
Food for the soul
We pass along knowledge we've gleaned,
we converse on ubiquitously complex things ...
musings rarely spoken on, things rarely seen
Then we part company, go our separate way,
with an implicit understanding
that God has placed us each on a path, and there we must stay
For the most part, it is such a lonely existence
So I let the stillness be my mate
An elevated consciousness will help create
the missing component needed
for my fragile, temporal state
On this higher plane of consciousness,
former memories of negativity,
like butterflies ... they all flutter away
Only pure enlightenment remains,
just spiritually evolving is sustained
So it is with the gift of elevation
Searching evermore for
where lies the next mystery,
yet to be revealed
Reaching for the hidden wisdom,
that is higher above me,
still well concealed
The gift of spiritual elevation
will keep elevating me,
as long as I abide in God's will
