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
