hidden waters

“It’s better to hide completely within
as water hides in metal, as fire hides in rock.” ~Rumi ~


emotions bury deep
take you down to the core
of where you want to be
of who you want to be
events become crystal
clearly seen for the first time
dawning into the age of reason
from whence the age of necessity
breeds the days of our youth remembered
breeds the days of our time honored
to bring with it logic
outdated and time honored
no matter what the cost

water hides from metal
slides across the valleys of the hills and dales
across the weathered rock and sand
across the ones in high demand
weary travelers lost in memories
wandering round the leaves
forever changed in enmity and in grace
shadowed thoughts reak havoc
among the soul
until their lives can be told
relinquishing their needs to be outmoded and redefined
within the graces of time

sometimes it is better to bury within
keep your mind free from sin
all untold the futures seek
answering questions to bold to weep
fear not the mortal coil of deceit
for you are a time honored retreat
in darkness and in light
you will find the source
you will find the soul
held within the rays
of the one who made you whole
defeat is no longer found
in this space of hallowed ground
deliverance from evil may require
entirely new attires of the heart
to be worn without a care
within the greatest of care
wandering round this sacred ground

beneath these layers of time
once must refine
the time honored days
within the space of stays
erasing what was known
for what could be
looking within to discover
every possibility
adhere to notions of existence
within your time of remittance
a new day is dawning from within
never again will you be thought to sin
always wandering true to spirits
holding space with a lover’s eye
wandering towards answering
the question of why?
