Guardian of the Threshold

What do you see when you see me

Guardian of the threshold

Watcher who lives between the worlds

I feel you understand

Far more than you can ever say

As your silence bears testamony

To a deeper truth obscured

Behind the veil of words

Resting in the moment

You are fully alive

Whereas I sometimes

WIth all the tears I cried

Felt half dead

With truth belied

By all the self blame

I needed to shed

And lately I find

My soul surprised by a sunrise

I was not equal to before

Which now greets my awakening eyes

With a magnificence

Formerly unrecognised

Let us dance together

Full awake and alive

In the now

My precious guardian

Of the threshold

As we shed the skins

We need to shed

And find our souls

Surprised by joy
