Wake

Yawning eyes, a window to my soul Breathless whys, that follow into my eye-hole Gradually fading into the mirror Hurried air lifted me nearer There I soar over a continuum of water Dovetailed and coupled by a cotter Lights are picture still Appearance is resolved and real A mirage flickers beneath Temptation's will to bequeath, Exploration, for Curiosity to delve underneath Self-will...calm body of water fractured Knowledge stripped from ology raptured Black space consumed by prismed light pastured Reflecting off water droplets like chandeliers Insincere fears no more echo in the valley of my ears Candid myopia, a marvel gaseous heat Nearly utopia, a row hung shy of a hurled skeet So massive I stand, grand, feet on no land No perpendicular cast No trail from my past No horizon setting before my eyes The switch to that place had vanished Replaced now by theatrical planets Act of emotion tug and push like magnets I looked inside for my soul It’s response...I feel the universe whole Felt every rain drop Every inch of growing crop Her exhale of wind in the wilderness all it’s birth joy happiness blissfulness compassion love care hope determination change reform resilience revolution jealousy envy emptiness melancholy sadness loneliness frustration sully madness hatred discomfort pain and death
