shimmering lucidity

while the sun’s tickling my asking face with every small embrace
i feel my mind chasing itself through this neverending maze
and though i know the end could come at any given time
the fool in me cries out and runs away from the sublime

still i feel this holy light caressing me with ease
a flame that shines so mighty it was never made to
cease
it brings us all together, in it’s love we will grow
in the land of sullen shadows, it’s the only guide we know

then again i find myself like a weeping willow tree
longing for something to rip the cage so i can remain free
as i have laid these layers upon my spirit for oh so long
i need something to take my hand that knows where i belong

all will be so clear again, everything in this shiny glow
your sorrow, fear and guilt will be gone as the wind will blow
and if you see your siblings as they are perpetual light
eventually it will be yourself that this spark will ignite

and though from time to time my heart you might be in fear
remember that the light is close, the light is truly near
it rests in you until you let it shine out through the dark
where we bathe in this great ocean, that once appeared a spark
