Silently

Silently, I contemplate

my release

the purging of my soul

has no boundaries

I am awash with the mysteries

of myself

captured and enamoured

by the complex simplicity

that lies in my heart

Silently, I grieve

Am I to be only half full?

A meager displacement of the wonder

that I have been

in lives before?

Or am I to be

an overflowing cask 

of the sweetest wine

that leaves a warmth in your belly

and a yearning in your heart?

Silently, I dream

I yearn for my new lifetime

Full of amazement and adventure

I look for the breaking open

where the chasm can release

the greatness that has been held inside

for aeons

Silently, I wait.
