The Dream Castle

Mar 5, '06 8:23 AM
for everyone

The spot of black
Crept up on me
Just like that
It spread, free

The wide expanse
Of love and purity
The subtle suspense
In diagnosis, a liberty

Its potency? Cancerous
Black as night
Its malignancy? Poisonous
Without fight

It's none the least
Contagious as laughter
Hope, love and peace
Ever torn asunder

An anchor in the ocean
Released then and there
Rapunzel's fairy tale quotient
Cried "Let down your hair!"

The beauty's sleep
Uninterrupted
Calls out to deep
Uncorrupted

So spirit's stupor
A period of reckoning
Simple time, duple
A period of hastening

The call to return
An unheeded columbarium
The 180-turn
A heart's circumcision

Tarry not in hesitance
Lest momentum becomes past
But tarry in divine presence
There's freedom coming in last!
