           Transformation

Have you known the silence
of stars above a boundless sea
and the serenity of wilderness
    at twilight
or the calm tranquility just before
the first winds of Spring
and  walked endless, empty roads
as  the partner of loneliness
with the bittersweet pain
   of unrequited love ...
Then know that you have been
called to a higher realm of
     consciousness
for a life of empathy, service,
and the joy of enlightenment.

Just knowing you've been called... Yeah, that's, in and of itself, very transforming.  Enjoyed!

It seems like you have come full circle, a person can be solitary but not alone and life becomes your constant companion with all of the nuances it shows and throws to us...

Enjoyed the read..thank you..
