Vision Quest Level 6

Vision Quest Level 6


I stood ~

Totally unaware of the importance
of this sundial
casting a shadow
of knowledge
at the base of itself

realizing ~

the transparent words
being read
at the toes of today's journal
were being written
in the pen of me

Standing ~

in awe
of nothing ...
nothing more than myself
and the power encased
in the recesses
of my spirit
hiding in the freedom
that I have sought

Smiling ~

Relishing in the knowledge
that I have been casting
the ripples of disturbance
in my own pond
of cleansing ...
watching them dance
over my quested peace
and never once
reaching out
to calm the pool of desire

Bowing ~

Giving thanks
to our maker
for turning my eyes
to the shadow
of myself
resting in the sundial
of my spirit
as I gazed into your eyes
and found myself
pedestaled
in the embrace of you

Thank you both for the welcome and the comments on the format. Not my usual format as you will soon see I am sure but love to experiment some.

MC: "... but love to experiment some."

This is good... exercise the imagination.

Hmmm,

I liked the two concrete images here:

The sundial casting a shadow at the base of itself

and then

the myself pedestaled part.

I think it's a nice set of bookends -- though bookends are usually plastic or wood.
