In a dream a long time ago
I wandered on the edge of darkness
wondering if light would ever show
the black cobra sky, hissed, starless
A shaman greeted me on the trail
do you walk with the shadow people
discovering mysteries beyond the veil
can you see with the eyes of an eagle
I invite you to think about “now” a bit more
what will bring you joy in the morning light
spring is filled with small wonders to explore
have you ever seen a bird take it's first flight
My heart heavy from the weekend snow
I wandered on the edge of darkness
wondering where is the sun’s warm glow
seeking a refuge, a place of calmness
The trees of the forest bend and moan
storytellers, will share how they came to be
mysteries runs deep, filled with unknowns
drift into a lucid dream, I think you will agree
Past the darkness, there is always light….
let us fine a way for it to shine, forever bright
linking with What's Going On?

Thanks for visiting and reading the wanderings of my mind.
Peace, love and light to all....
Ah, this is a lovely poem to read today........I love the shaman's visit, and the message that beyond the darkness, there is always light. We have to hold onto that! Beautiful, True.
ReplyDeleteSherry. I do believe we must always embrace light. That being said I think we appreciate light after a period of darkness.
DeleteProfunda reflexión siempre hay que aferrarse a la luz. Enamorada de las letras

have you ever seen a bird take it's first flight" I enjoyed this hint in the middle of the dream, a hint that leads to the knowledge of light even when it is most dark.
That you Susan for noting the shift in the dream.
DeleteThere's such value to be seen once light comes into our lives...at times it's hard to believe, if we are experiencing difficulties..seasons, usually oblige with sunshine and that much wanted view..
ReplyDeleteWonderfully done. A beautiful tale told in verse.

ReplyDeleteI so agree Suzanne!
DeleteThank you for gifting us this poem .. I lost three loved ones in the last seven months, questioning when the darkness might fade. This line "I wandered on the edge of darkness wondering if light would ever show" comforted me, reassured me I would come thru, I would. I am. Slowly.
ReplyDeleteHelen, extending sympathy to you in your time of loss. Hopefully, you will feel flickers of light through the darkness.
