Like a Dove

 

As Summer burns off

The last Persephone’s offerings

I contemplate my path

Which direction to turn

I am emerging

Frightful thought

My cave is peaceful

Dark and secluded

Only Love dwells here

The world creeps in

Of late

I sigh as I look ahead

Cheers and boos

Feel the same

The need to conform

Embraces me

When either is offered.

I fear conformity

I’ve never done it well.

Self confidence

Is overshadowed by

Memories of tripping

Over shoelaces

On my way to glory.

The mystics warn

Do not force

What is to come.

Allow it to come to me.

Sound advice!

How can I be steady

If I am strained to the max,

Overrun by fear,

Seeking material goods

Which only disappear in time,

I am better off allowing

The slow burn of passion

To build gracefully within.

I seek a higher knowledge.

Fasting is good for me

In small doses.

Cleanses the soul

Clears the mind of debris

To allow the Divine Wisdom

To descend like a Dove
