shadows descend when the fog creeps

hiding golden rays of shine

the chill of emotion’s death seeps

frozen the body and stolen the time

  but this storm is familiar now

such a battle was fought before

knowing the consequences should you bow

to this plague that claims your core

  the first trial was only a test

a harsh initiation to the truth

done to give a knowing of best

and expect the lack of ruth

  draw forth from the strength gained

remember the lessons learned

never let peace be detained

by this darkness that has turned

  know your value, give your all

stand against demons that corrupt

from true self you must not fall

to a halt bring the monster abrupt

  look ahead to the future bright

know ever the presence of hope

no doubt you’re strong enough to fight

always the good you must envelope

  hold the things you value above

soon you’ll see the clouds will part

in yourself and life find love

Stretching infinite beyond our eyes

be the universe of worlds

worlds after worlds

but to such limited sight, be there only two

defined, bordered, divided

done so by the ones of “superior intelligence”

our lives, our world, ourselves

our community

busily absobred in scheduled agendas and

always concerned for what can be done

before time runs its course

though time is untamed, and runs rampant

into the next world we know

the world where all is concept and instinct

life is in the senses

touch, scent, sight, sound

embodied in colors matching seasons

and living is primitive

but though they’re defined by worlds

the bridges are frequently crossed

by seekers of escape and adventure

for where could such be attained

in the world we know through creation?

where in our world can colors be felt

and zephyrs be tasted?

where the elements are alive

and build the ring that embraces soul

we channel the power and the peace

initiate our minds as part of our body

but as free as flight

footsteps muffled from concrete to soil

wailing sirens to singing blackbirds

glaring reflections to dappled shadows

so romanticized the other world

but is it rightly so?

what was the purpose of separation
