incarnate  

 
the depths rise and I enter the onyx corridor
it is a sacred art not to be taken lightly
flowing with the energy allowing it to entwine with me

a portal to the ancients
they nod in approval with recognition
I vow to be honorable with my telling
unfurling what I know accessing things hidden from my mortal mind

I desired the full experience
humanity in all its expressions
I wrap my arms around me letting thoughts sink in
I'm awake and aware

little mortal climb the immortal epitaph
scribe on your soul your journey
sanctity of spirit speaks on your behalf
the dark opens its eyes knowing its own
a darkling of faith a conundrum
dark enough to be a being of intrigue light enough to be trustworthy

I open the ancient tomes
keeping record of all time
I take leaves and press them to memory
my thoughts open with clicks of many locks
I am cautious with my words
knowing i will be held in account

flowing with the energy I am told its time to go back
in the depths I ascend
my energy returns to me
wisdom my sanctuary
I am home
