I hear his call
Beckon call, beacon call

I close my eyes, wait
For the sign, meditate, calm
Inward, look

He dances around me
Hears me
Finds me

I look within, find
His notes move
Stir me awake
Awake

He calls
Beckon call, beacon call
We see
We are on the threshold.

Wonderfully thought out and exquisitely written, Ms E. "Threshold Song" is a stunning beauty.

Thank you Jerry, the poem was inspired by the music of Collective Awakening. As they played their music I felt an overwhelming sense of One Love; the Love that will find me.

I had the sense you were writing about a spiritual or future One, Ms E., but didn't say it because I hate to be wrong on these things, so I hold back and substitute other generic comments. Thank you for confirming my thoughts were on track.

I would like to add Jerry, the couple, who are the musicians in Collective Awakening, are on u-tube.
Seeing the love transpire between them as they played was palatable.

It is amazing how thoroughly music can move people; it is emotions in sounds, and exceptional musicians can weave them through their listeners, pulling their own emotions into the music.  Love this.

"He calls
Beckon call, beacon call
We see
We are on the threshold."

With such deep emotion.
This is pure love from your heart.
Very inspirational.

Ebony,

the Play on Words is wonderful and insightful. Brief, and when you allow, brevity making very wide, sweeping commentary in silence...

well done, m'friend.

Yes, EG, you are on the threshold of something..I like this so far, but the poem begs me to ask for more...what happens next, after you cross?

There are many meanings to the word "threshold" please let me hear another song....:-)
