From the Shadows

Contributed by Aspirant on Saturday, 13th February 2010 @ 05:24:32 AM in AEST
Topic: abstract

Part of me thought it understood, and spoke out in the night:

"Fill your spirit to the brim
Not with fear and visions dim.
Simple sight will suffice.
Prosper in the radiant light."

But now I know I must accept the way of worldly things,
As one thing comes, another goes, as if they were on strings.

The wise heart alone sees its path
Through tumultuous sinews, struck in time.

The wings of the future carry solemn regret
Over the sea, and hide Me from Myself.
Accepting devilish notions, connections in high places,
A guilty lamb closes its eyes to salvation.

The ancient Trojan passage sealed,
Night-time spectres fall upon a quaking soul
By song. A harmonic hymn. Offbeat.

Aspiring to purity -- the sole escape
To cast off temporal specks and laurels
From the honour and dignity of that place,
Forcing thoughts through, like a candy-
coloured rod, into the gaping jaws of life.

The steady tide will claim another layer of soil
While cracked and covetous creatures their pearls withhold.

This is an honest look at reality
we cannot alone change what is
but we must not live in denial either
only then when we are aware
can we strengthen ourselves mentally and spiritually
Methods of evil are never forfeited
only dissipated and revised
wise revelation,great passage
