Make a wish

A Poem by Daniel Dawes
"

Taking a step forward in life with faith and trust.....

"

An opening in space as the voice of self calls in the distance like a genie in a bottle,

Begging and whispering  for the stillness to prevail,

Sighing at every loss in the moment of a transparent story,

And smiling when home is present or not.

 

An old clock begins to miss its beat,

As the chirping bird never misses hers,

A call into the darkness where all reflection of light is given,

As the shadows play with form.

 

One simple song  for all,

With a million threads all singing,

Then falling back and back again,

Into trueness and peace.

 

Vastness in an open door ,

Fear and excitment at stepping through,

Only to see a lone gatekeeper,

Welcoming all with open arms.

 

Searching and fumbling,

For a space in time,

Which can’t be found,

Shh, don’t make a sound.
