A Transcendence

Beyond our past and our dead
that which mourning did not erase  
a passage for our soul exists  
and remains for us to embrace    
   
Each upon a journey  
an expedition of survival  
inward renaissance  
preceding a revival  
   
A personal pilgrimage  
consciousness raising  
psychology of self  
internal appraising  
   
Seeking revelation  
a pathway to peace  
awareness is dawning  
liberating release  
   
As our lives transcend    
outside the literal sense  
we rediscover ourselves  
without pretence
