…this is an ecstatic poem echoing the mystic tradition…
their fire and light
incandesce my essence
burn deep my soul
stir my spirit
unsettle my being
ignite my wonder
and whet my seeker’s vessel
with need to be filled full
at once familiar
yet exotically foreign
strangely boxed
but exquisitely wrapped
in longing
loss
love
and infinitely more
they reach to a hollow place
deep within
echoing a past
awakening a myth
exposing that which I embrace
in the moment
as truth
stirring my pain
my loneliness
my hope
offering just enough answer
that I combust with questions
sacred uncertainties
suspended in inquiry
in memories of neverwas
recognition of evermore
enrapt in blissful cognizance
of that which is not known
I am transfixed by mystery
elevated by insight
impaled by vision
spellbound
