The Gift of Being All That You Are

To you, this gift I give
It’s intricate ideas invade
Spreading ancient artifacts
Across your fractured focus.
Gaze out and grasp what comes to you
Hold it dear
Let your craft take you
On a journey to a vast dimension.
Follow into the hollow and swallow
Your fears;
They have no place here.
Mend your mind; send it far
Lend your heart; tend your soul
Fend off those who doubt;
Let your imagination soar
Circling, swirling, singing
All in delight
As you fight against
The dying light
And be all that you are.
