Waken

Waken 

I had been feeling restless for some time, 
But today, I awoke in the afternoon 
Feeling truly at peace for the first time.
 
A sense of calm enveloped me, 
Along with focus and drive, 
As a myriad of emotions surged  within
Like a soldier readying for his battle ride.

The burden had lifted, 
In its place, victory stood firmly!   
Next to the kin that surrounded me.
 
I wondered who is this entity, 
That has taken shape, shining, 
His Head Held High
In perfected pridefulness 
As if tailored for a purpose? 

Though I felt grounded, 
My victorious battle was the pinnacles. 
Pearls of Wisdom on this journey! 

Direction seemed to emerge, 
Greeting me with a handshake. 
This profound state, 
Altered consciousness. 
I questioned, am I home?

The Tide Is High By: William P . Darnell Sr. The tide is high, as I look at the water and the banks. I wish I could take my troubles, and throw them in the water. Leaving the tide to carry them away, far to the middle of the waters. Yet knowing that this can not be done! But it does leave wonder, as to the imagination. I see things floating, wishing that this is my trouble that I thrown to the waters. But looking, just a floating passing  piece of bark.

He Sails at The Top

He sets up His mast upon His raft.  He sailed the tops and groves of the trees in granting There He goes through the forest, soaring His craft He provides energy to the wild as the swift wind passes. The freshness of the timbers climbing, When they flourish where they're standing The aroma of wood is the best for understanding That should have it to vend banded we invoke.  We notice vines developing, surrounding the trees,  Sustaining one another breathing in this sphere of unity We concede that we're learning from them by will A loving connection between these trees and plants The woodlands breathe with peace and with sense. A tree's liveliness needs sustaining credence.  For its essence, it rightly deserves to be pleading As if they were holding hands, the trees and vines It shows us they have the capability of love sustained inside. The trees and different characters thereof,  An advanced tier of life to replenish our air above An intelligent, complex organis...
