An Ode to My Unsung Song

In collaboration with An Owl on the Moon...

An ode to my unsung song

Here on a sacred, starless night;

the echoed rhythms swallowed the light.

And runic spells did abound;

awakening pathways all around.

 

A wish to conquer endless doubts;

miles I walked, wandered about.

Blessed moonlight touched my soul;

washed I was, in that nightly stroll.

 

So wandering weary the pathway home;

there is an odyssey I must seek alone.

Yet I confess this dark place so desolate;

enshrouds and haunts me while I wait.  

 

That what has been caged so long;

an ode it was to my unsung song.

Whispered my heart and clouded mind,

to seek what I had left behind.

 

Now step by step I meander the stars;

each a light in my painted memoirs.

And the music of my soul takes flight.

Endless rhapsody of the wild finite. 

I follow the way to my heart's content;

blinding lights can't stop my descent.

From the heavenly sky towards the earth,

a quest it is to find my worth.

Arise, oh dawning sun of my soul;

erase arid illusions and make me whole.

Sense the brushed incantations of van Gogh;

conjuring this City of Lights in indigo.

I felt the stars entering my heart,

whence I was falling apart.

And I let it take me to places afar,

as I followed my shooting star...

Flaring from the stars rose a hymn,

in its muted melody my mind did swim.

The chorus transformed into a lullaby,

mesmerizing mist of a migrating butterfly. 

Awakening crystals of my eyes,

capturing all the beauty of the skies.

And now I breathe, here at last;

lie forgotten, the miseries of my past...

I love these lines so much. I believe these lines talks in behalf of everything.

"I follow the way to my heart's content;
blinding lights can't stop my descent.
From the heavenly sky towards the earth,
a quest it is to find my worth."

Finding worth is truly such a quest in life ad it is good to know you would do all your might to know and have it. :) Keep writing.

This felt like an odyssey as we traveled with you through this poem as a quest for inner piece. The beauty of our place in a vast universe can really makes us ponder about our place in it. This is very mesmerizing.

there are words and music to life that we have not written or sung yet...it is all to come....we make up the lyrics as we go along---and the song seems to write itself...

love the imagery here.
