The Awakening By Paul Wilson I’ve been inside the lights of the North As they turn from green to red and purple While sitting on the apex of the moon Watching the Sun rise in the East As it sets in the West The Earth stood still as time froze Within the vision of my mind Stars guide me thru eternity Along the highway of my soul Leading me to the deepest recesses of my mind Where never before seen visions greet me In a place where the elders reside Heart is pounding as I close my eyes Trying to block out visions within my mind Below I see all that was and all that I know The Sun and Moon circle each other like before Stars light pathway thru the sky On this journey the sands of time stand still Return to the past or venture into the future The choice mine to make… { or is it } Time is running out my journey will soon end Go forth become one with the teacher Or return to where I came from Back thru the lights of the North Below the Sun and Moon Back to the time of my mortality Never to explore visions in my mind Unable to comprehend that which is out there Copy Righted 1-28-2020 ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ Paul |

Some beautiful imagery here, Paul. I cannot be sure your meanings here, but I had a near death experience quite a few years back that painted some similar imagery in my mind...along with the choice. You took me back there with this. |

Michael...Your perception of this poem is right on. I also had a near death experience back around 1970 -71 where my spirit was up in the clouds looking down at my human body and realizing how stupid I was and all the wrong things I'd done in my life and it was like I was given a second chance. Thanks for reading my friend and understanding...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |
