Moon rising near the Joshua tree
gateway appears, quarter past three
I walk alone on a desert road
trying to decipher mystical codes
who can; silence a thousand drums
apparitions speak in ancient tongue
tall cactus guard the canyon walls
darkness dwells, mourning falls
stumbling upon an
angel of poems
welcome to the door of perception
the journey is not; about perfection
open your mind, to a poetic world
cosmic dust, the universe unfurls
who can; silence a thousand voices
chanting mantras; spiritual choices
glimpsing a vision of future days
when will this dust storm go away
stumbling upon an
angel of song
walking through a portal of time
synchronicity, rhythm and rhyme
awakening my eyes filled with tears
can harmony exist in coming years
who can; silence the phoenix's cries
with a single flap, lighting the sky
rising from ashes, a warrior reborn
giving life to spirits tired and worn
stumbling upon an
angel of dream

Such a rejuvenating reflection — the mythical elements give it the weight of a spiritual journey to find a voice and rise from the ashes with a new spirit. This bit resonated with me in particular: "awakening my eyes filled with tears/can harmony exist in coming years".

DeleteSure a drumming in your words. Sure not about perfection indeed. Have to go to our own drum.
ReplyDeleteThat we do Pat, we have to find our own beat in life.
DeleteYou have painted this dreamwalk, beautifully. Each time I came upon it, you gave me pause, with the altered repetitive line: 'stumbling upon an angel … ' A lovely linger.
ReplyDeleteThanks Wendy, I too liked to linger in the pause
DeleteI truly luv the metaphorical phoenix at the poem's end; a full circle turn.
