Spirit reign



a momentary view is all we have
in a point assigned,

as spirits of the all we are but few

having come to be
to carry the burden of humanity

as this is our time to do
and be the ones, who get things done

a portion of the flow of souls
we represent of common ancestry

more than we know
but, for some great unknown

given a second chance
to make what course corrections

we might, as we live as is, fitting
for the very future we are coming to

in this life being lost
without a clue

all, because too long ago
someone tossed the script

of what we were tasked to do
within these motions of life,

inspired perhaps
with insights from a heaven

which coincides
with a common sense of life

within this universal stream
of good intent

not too far from the ocean
of our heart of mind

to grasp a handful of the eternal dream
as it comes and goes,

combined with the realization
of this moment in flux,

as it grows... changes phase
and begins transitioning

from what might appear at first
to be mere reactions

in a series of cascading steps
played upon this stage

to key events in the spiritual pools,
we see reflected in the tides of life

as it affects us
individually and collectively

a state of being
where focal points of reality

meet our minds
and our spirituality

comes into focus,
changes inwardly

bends time,
becomes aligned

with the eventuality
of shifting tides

its energy, a catalyst,
a fuel and quench

both to allow a spark
to add fire to the clay

its the color we portray
in the mood of our persuasion

and if continuity allows
the part we play

among our fellow travelers
as this reality imperfectively changes

by our force of will
an influence, perhaps

of our passion + prayers
to continue in its rise

to a place we by chance,
call destiny, as we drift,

sometimes purposefully
along our path

connected, in many ways
On this journey

across dimensions of time
and space

then too,
we all, in part
complete the arc,

take our turn
reflecting upon the heart

of the universe of our beliefs
carry a torch lit by our consciousness.

a remnant of a gift
before time,

we received
from the source

and pass on
as we are able

as our spark materializes
but for a moment

in its return
to dust
