shine

 
gilded and beguiled
turning on the introspective light
copper energies shine
soulful renderings by artistic design

musing eternity I turn the infinite over in my mind
entering the solemn corridor a hush comes over me
twilight brushes my imaginations, crimson
delicate strokes of genius

peering into mysteries highly guarded
my thoughts open and for an instance, I'm granted entry
into the onyx kingdom, I ascend
where I see my only clothing is wisdom
woven from life's experience

the angels weep I must go back
I cry while the heavenly choir sings
I'm overcome with grief

heavy armor is placed upon me
into the lower realms, I must travel
turmoil is on the winds

I will travail until I am once again
a lovely flower in the garden
