The Starless Dream

A whisper promising bliss caresses my ears
It brings the warmth of hope and banishes my fears
I ask who the presence is and from whence they came
The voice then answers: “you already know my name.”
-
I follow the voice under the midnight sky
I shed my mortal shell in order to rise and fly
I follow the path of the life stream
To forfeit life for the Starless Dream.
-
I long to smell the sweet perfume
And kiss the intoxicating petals
This midnight flower shall only bloom
When my heart and soul have settled.
-
I’ve found myself again
I’ve reconciled with the part I thought had died
And I’ve embraced my affinities with you, my friend
Who lifted me up and brought me the gift of flight.
