PUBLISHED PIECE :o) about a dark night of the Soul reclaiming the Light |
Fallen I sigh and dry leaves fall from my head. I cry and moisten the brown Earth beneath the roots of my feet. I yearn and the Sky bends down to caress my Soul with its breath. I long to live in the eternal moment of Truth Where All Is and Nothing Exists. My Soul has Fallen. My Spirit clings on a wisp of a wish. Hope breeds in the emptiness and Spans outward entangling its tentacle arms, Intertwining intricately so a body cannot set itself free. Is Hope the glowing cord that holds me in Unity? I have Fallen from the Grace of God. I have trodden down so many rotten paths. I have Fallen from moldy roadsides That empty into deep confusion and lies. I have Fallen from You, And You have Fallen with me. A blue jay cries, its piercing song slicing through the dark air. Has the blue jay Fallen, too? Into my bleak world? Can it carry back a berry of Truth to seed and breed? I long to be towed by the chord of Hope, Back into the Truth that I Am. Ah, the rest that comes with Death. Peace comes upon me And leaves me weakened by its Strength. I breathe in air from the edge of the Universe. All I want. All I need. Peace comes upon me and it breathes me. Tears drip from my Heart And water the seed for Change. My Soul shines upon my sorrow Casting it to the Heavens. I soar above the pain. He lifts me once again. My Soul has Fallen into Heaven. |
