the beauty of the soul

 
in time I see a vision of knowledge
a slice of hidden wisdom
in the blueness of questions
I rise and get a glimpse
of fortunate brilliance

a light in the darkness
speaking to me in language I don't recognize
my skin tingled and it was given to me
to witness a transformation
from the natural state
into the eternal garment

the ethereal glow with understanding
and a thousand mouths uttered well done
they were given a place among the gatherers
the dark dimmed and it was holy

the great confounding debt was paid
the grail was opened and his new name was read
in the great halls many tears shed
tears of recognition as his family came in

while memories of the past fell away
a voyage of discovery his to take
