Below your feet

A world beneath

A world below

The birds flock by

The north winds blow

Mists sweep beneath

The cracked ice sheets

Ice pixies veils

Trip dancing feet

The crevasse sighs

At winters cry

With wondered eyes

You step inside

Valedictions to the sky

The old world now has passed you by

Brass pillars line this secret pass

Strange fauna, not quite leaves or grass

Icy fingers trail your spine

No creature but fears relentless whine

As darkness closes one final door

Of the world that is to you no more

Hyrogliphic symbols twist and expand

A dancing language, foreign hand

An earthy ballet paints these walls

Strange magic hear its beckon call

A queer sensation, not right at all

Onto your hands and knees you fall! 

But on and on and on you crawl

Awakened now with heavy eyes

The new world greets you. Mystified.

Golden shimmer, dreamy haze

Your thoughts quite lost inside this maze

What once was body, once was mind

Once was thirsty, once was blind

Once was angry, once overcome,

Once was led by lips and tongue

What once was fueled by greed and lust

Once craving peace or love or trust

Once searching perfection, dwelling in tears

Ambition, rejection, acceptance and fear

What once to you was a true cause

Is gone now, what once was, just was.

Amazingly spiritual in its beauty and form and I appreciated the subtle message and undertone of entering into a new brighter and alien world from the cold one you are used to letting go of everything negative in your life and embracing a new and brighter and newer version of yourself.
