I walk unheard through realm-less glades As willows sway their eerie dance; Wood, not flesh, on second glance My breaths like awkward rusty blades Tear jagged wounds in untouched air That whispers in and out my hair I sit and lean on mossy bark Finding peace in the soft caress Awareness fades with days’ brightness… Secure in my blanket dark I dream of places far beyond Where humankind has never gone My soul soars free of its confines To join the concert of the night Under Taurus shining bright High among the towering pines Moonlight flows like molten silver Forest creatures softly quiver Whirling high up to the stars I wonder at their birth, their death Who gave these fiery beings breath? I dance on, past radiant Mars He turns to watch as I step by A twinkle in one fearsome eye The ending comes, the finale A comet on a distant shore The curtain falls, to rise no more To earth again, mortality Not all is lost, for I am found Alive in ways far more profound Throughout my hidden solitude Warmth returns to dark hollows As through the trees kind sunlight flows A possum trails by with her brood To sleep away the daylight hours My nostrils fill; cool scent of flowers I rise now with a need to quest Go further on, go further in Soft leaves brush against my skin I go north, south, east and west To seek that place where souls are free Not bound within this husk of me I’ve been where I cannot describe Where heaven intersects the earth Where each day gives new wonders birth Thoughts of things my mind won’t hide Flood back with melancholic tones I long to leave these aging bones But still my feet do not ascend As high as on that glorious night When I was one with heaven’s light My mind could never comprehend The reason for their brilliant fire These souls in heavenly attire Until I met this Man, the Truth He gives my tireless searching worth Heavens child sent to earth It’s not about eternal youth His tale of sacrifice He simply says he’s paid the price One choice remains to those who seek Which self will you choose to save? I chose not to remain a slave I simply stood there tired and meek And offered up this husk of mine For Heavens child to refine There still remains one final lap For safety from my sin But now my hope can rest in Him The man who breached the gap He shows the Way He knows what’s right After all he is the Life Epilogue: Placed there by a Makers hand They glorify eternally Testaments for you and me So how can we not understand? How can we claim to not have known? Gods might creation’s clearly shown |

"Gods might creation’s clearly shown" Indeed, it is. And your poem expresses this beautifully. Michael |

It is hard for me to believe that anyone could not believe God had a hand in this glorious place called earth. Nicely done. |

In reading this again, today... I can't help but sit, watch, and be amazed at the daily rat race that goes on around us. Everyone is "seeking" but they are looking in all the wrong places, aren't they? Enjoyable as it was the first time. Michael |

Thank you both for your thoughts and comments! Much appreciated  . As you said Michael, I think many people know deep down someone had a hand in making this world. My hope is maybe they will think more about where to find Him. |

Until I met this Man, the Truth He gives my tireless searching worth Heavens child sent to earth It’s not about eternal youth His tale of sacrifice He simply says he’s paid the price This is just lovely!!! |
