A universe-size onion,
Gently peeled over a lifetime,
Every smile, question, conversation,
Slowly reveal a fresh layer,
A new scent of discovery,
Coherence, clarity, understanding,
Of purpose.
Deep inside the soul, secrets hidden,
The muse shines her light to reveal them.
Query by inquiry,
They are freed from their detention,
Rise to the surface, to be redeemed,
Set free under daylight, in peace.
A thin smile
Steady breathing,
Eyes narrowing,
In a wandering gaze,
All senses tune in,
Scanning for,
Hidden whispers,
Silent calls,
Emotional frequency waves,
Traveling throughout the universe,
Seeking connection,
Recognition,
Inspiration.
They are out there,
You believe,
You trust,
You know.
Souls like yours,
Transmitting,
Listening for a return echo,
A message,
A sign,
From the other side of the world,
Or from across the room,
To meet and acknowledge,
Engage and embrace,
Your kind.
Sun rays, traveling through vacant space,
A straight course to the edge of nowhere,
Shining heavenly bodies along their path,
Discovering new directions upon chance reflections.
Some rare, select few penetrate the stifling Earth clouds,
Land softly into the soul,
That had craved them for a spiritual millennium,
Of a creative terra firma.
Hints of words, buds of ideas,
Emerge from the cracked soil,
Grow into a tale, a poem,
That blooms with relief and excitement.
Freedom reclaimed, the impediment dissipates,
Effervescent lightness floats the spirit,
Onto green pastures of fertile imagination,
To be harvested, while the light shines.
Home is where love is,
