Stranger

Echoes

Of tidal flows

Resound

Here within the growing dark

As the earthly bindings that enclose my heart

Unravel

Tears flow

There is only

This river of longing

As memories of other days

Cascade

Like a waterfall

If I am then

Along this slowly unwinding

Inner path

Always travelling

Or loosening myself

Like a loaded spring

In search of decompression

Who will bear witness

To my soul’s expression

Here

Deep within the alone

I am just a soul

Dancing

Like a lost note

Seeking its symphony

Feeling my severing

Seeing all of those mental illusions

And soul confusions

Invisible to me before

And so if sometimes

Truth

As it arrives

Steals so completely

My breath

Is it because now

My heart sees

So much further than it ever could before

As I gaze through an open door

Catching sight of a stranger

I never knew before
