A prose poem about life's soul journey, self discovery and the spirituality within us ... |
Come walk with me a mile... Walk on without our burden’s weighty shoes, warily trudging over the long rocky pathway of a lifetime in my soul, a final traumatic voyage to freedom. The winds of change are blowing briskly as we walk charily over the long rock-strewn passageway. I shed these boots and skin, no longer fitting my scared, blistered and callused soles. As time has slowly passed the pebbly passage has evolved from two ways into one-way jagged forage… Standing barefooted and naked on rocky ground, dark sunken sleepless eyes scan the rolling vista view as the wind blows dust from the halo around the sun blurring the delicate wispy cirrus clouds. The sun’s radiance paints frozen ice crystals into a vivid aura of prisms’ glittering corona of rainbows around the closest of solar stars. There's something in the ethereal air that leaves my soul unsettled, grasping for an evocative stability that eludes me... The pain and suffering has vanished as if the body and soul have separated, numbness from severed nerves sharp reflection on serrated edges, deadened useless flesh cut to the bone by misjudged obstacles once too often. The barefooted soul travels on, suffused in the solar rainbow dust yearning, longing to saunter above and beyond the feathery pillows of cumulus clouds finally resting at peace. Dipping the numbed toes and heart’s lesions into a healing bath of stardust... An unfinished life of an open ended dream reluctantly waking to take the last and final steps timidly taken alone. A long and winding rocky journey’s end draws near as the halo around the moon illuminates understanding of pending imminent soulful rain. The shower of tears that shall mourn the loss of body as the soul lives on, eternally, barefooted, naked and free like the dust in the wind at last... |
