Seeking the path of light
soft moccasins against my sole
skin to skin we are human
and animal kin...
guide me, oh deer spirit
through the forest of
deeper perception
awakening to life through
a lyrical parallel world
hearing the ancient songs
calling me beyond the
limits of consciousness
entering the enchanting
elegance of the dreamscape
noticing nuances of change
splendor in an autumn day
each step ushers in a breath
of life, red tailed hawk
circles overhead, come
closer my beloved friend
crunching of leaves and broken
limbs, songs of the trees beneath
my feet...
in the distance the water drum
poetic fluid, thirsty for a drink
of reflection I sprint onward
on hooves of
intuition
nestled in a quiet place on
the path of enlightenment
outside the realm of ordinary
perception...a vision
mossy heart radiates from
earth... locus of the
spiritual being lies in the
fragments of our lives...
and the depths of our dreams
and the depths of our dreams
magic is in the art of seeing

I'm in the woods. Really like "a lyrical parallel world."
ReplyDeleteThank you Colleen, I hope you enjoy the woods.

The dreamscape is always enchanting, one has to have a bit of magic in life.

The art of seeing sure can take a while to get those eyes wide open. Each step does help though.
ReplyDeleteThe art of seeing takes practice ;)

ReplyDeleteHi Truedessa - I particularly liked 'hearing the ancient songs
ReplyDeletecalling me' ... as I realise the First Nations people here do hear those song from the earth and spirit world. Great poem - thank you - cheers Hilary
Hi Hilary
DeleteI am sure they do hear the songs as they are deeply connected to the earth. Thanks for visiting.
Your poems usually give me an impression of reality with an underlying mysticism. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks Silver, my reality is filled with mysticism.
DeleteSuch a beautiful prayer for enlightenment and spiritual awakening.
ReplyDeleteThank you Grace! Wishing you a peaceful week!
Deletei think bonding with nature frees one's mind of the much accumulated stress and distractions one collected along the way. that's why i used to go to the bike trails every weekend to de-stress. (unfortunately, i couldn't do it now). there, you hear the bird chirps clearer. the colors of the butterflies and flowers appear more vibrant. the monitor lizard that swaggers across your path is a friend.
ReplyDeleteso, yes, magic is in the art of seeing.
I do agree with you nature restores balance in our lives. It allows us to decompress and breathe.
DeleteThank you for the thoughtful comment.
WOW!!! Amazing!!! This one really touches my soul! Thank you Truedessa! Big Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed. Now, tell me about the depths of dreams.
