The Molting Soul

Shadows shatter on the wall
           Peal the lightning,
                        through it all,
            Feel the thunder
       Roll
            your head,
                 going under.....
                            turning red.
down below where none may find you,
chains are falling far behind you.
          Dragging trails 
        of burning embers,
here where only love remembers,

    frozen in time's endless grasp,
your metered life expires at last.

  Casting off the coils restraining,
            only purity remaining,
transcend now the level reaching,
     upward to the Master's teaching,
Opening your eyes and mind
           seek a new world..................
                        yours to find.
