DANCING NAKED IN RAINBOWS

The fog of illusion began to clear

lifting its stone, cold grip

that pounded and seized my heart

leaving me naked and bruised

It no longer resonates its haunting echoes

through the thunderous storms

and…

the valleys and mountains I’ve ascended

 

Its scalding, acrid mist

led me in circles outside myself

like a runaway pendulum

that led me over rough, old cobblestones

    tripping me…

tricking me into a false world of illusion

  

So cruel and extreme were they…

all pretending to care

dressed in dark clouds

and unending rain that cried its tears

in a world so disrobed of light

I shed that skin a lifetime ago

Raked my way to deliverance

leaving my fingerprints in the soil

searching to touch the Divine

that reached down merciful, loving hands

to deliver me with its imminent, omnipotent touch

from a wretched path

                                 that cast dark shadows in my paths 

All my yesterdays...

All my tomorrows…

become one in the Now

for in that serene moment of truth I learned to crawl...

then walk with peace and love in light and glory

leaving me...

                   Running free and dancing Naked In Rainbows

I cam really feel this write Anne. I think this is a dream many of us share in our evolution as emotional and intellectual beings. You created a landscape for the reader to dance within while reading your work.
I enjoyed the experience!
