Timeless travelers, return



Ancestral eyes, peering depths within our souls
Speak to us in ancient ways

calling to our senses
By means, we seldom know

by starlight’s glow
As i look Deeply into the stars

Finding patterns of remembrance,
waiting there

So, as i walk into the light
i am Struck blind,

By visions of the ones
who've come before

After my vision fades,

finding myself lost
In the smoke the mists
of another day

Seeing battlefields
of long-lost days before

Of wastelands, burned
ruins of places torn
And plundered,

silent plains
bearing undiscovered truths,
now all but ignored.

Still, there are lessons to be learned
by the voices of the dead,

Even through the blood and gore,
the screams of pain, lost visions

Obliterated, echoes of lost silhouettes
Forever more faded into the timeless void

The reign of sorrow which comes to all

Who have fallen for far too little gain

But who will stop the rain?

And when the spinning in my head
Releases me once more

Opening my eyes
i find myself in tears

As if, in a dream…
almost, as in
Another sense of being

one step further
From our primordial, ancestral lines...

We are being led to gather, here...
Instead, being drawn together,

Here, willingly to travel
with our souls’ lights

Swimming as if in a school
of others of like mind

Nature, kind and peaceful

Exploring in an ethereal sense
To a space between forever and eternity

Within the place where the arc of visions blend,
 
Light bends,

and by the gift of our aligned hearts
All of Mankind Are Granted A  
second chance to be reborn.

When we share our gifts
We show the spark

of who we truly are, at heart.
Shine on, like all lovers of life...

We Chance to expend our deepest emotions
In ways that come from a tendency to dance,

To live and love, break free of the chains
Which keep us unduly bound

speaking for ourselves,
find a separate peace

From others, whose patterns of belief
are far, too centered on themselves,

free our minds,
climb to a place

beyond
the positions of the stars
...in this Space
in time.
