conversion of light

 
unfurling my soul I wander
breaking barriers as I go
interesting brokenness
leaving bits of myself along the way
in exchange for soul-to-soul contact
 
a pneuma of attraction
with eyes that flash and then turn low to a faint glow
awaiting the shadows that light
 
they are and are not observers of mankind
with pleasant greetings
a salutation is given
 
Crimsin of shade and light
we see your shine
with glitter of their own, I smile
 
taking my time to acquaint myself  
there are some dwellers I've never met before
visiting not on spacecraft but with visions and sight
 
they take to the air and land
they wish to know me
a traveler of dimensions they followed me here
 
sacred trust, I extend my gentleness
some are fierce
cautiously I watch
giving as I am given
 
to balk would be unforgivable
and give a reason to advance
this civilization thrives on knowledge
cold calculating and dangerous with strangers
 
so kind to their own
they consider me to be one of them
it's been a long time since I've seen their likes
 
they never stay long, I live a quiet country life
a dweller of sunshine
they envy my conversion into the light
