Realization

May 25, 2021 by Russell Wardlow Leave a Comment

an ode to the bold
poetry posed
to expose the soul
out of darkened coves
vulnerabilities shown
perspectives tested
reflections grown
of answers once unknown
with questions blown
out of conformed proportions
reframing importance
sensory drones coordinating
towards a spiritual ordinance
metaphysical orbits forged
by progressive droves
as deep as ores
gathering illuminating orbs
guiding castaways out of darkness
home to shores
nothing experienced secreted
sharing their tales of the deep abyss
a new light glows in the night sky
and now rest, is no longer sleep
and sleep, is no longer lost
for we are aware
of the thought that thinks thoughts
and the bodies formed thereafter
conscious of our contributions
from absolute attributes created limitless
first, was the word
’twas reaped before read
bear witness to the world I create
behold, you are now living in me
fore you were just an expression
of my imagination
and my power became your scripture
you are safe now
because we are one again
