I have inquired and searched this plane.
...such as the wanderling
with a more defined purpose.

Many arbitrary Paths
have I walked.
meditating with the wolves
and resting my spirit in lucidation
atop the highest strong branch
of the forests meat.
allowing placid dreams
to consume my mind.

I met no such being
save mySelf and the creatures
of the wild.
For this inner mission
I must alone answer.

Ascending this Path towards
Divine Consciousness
so am I becoming
full.
Enlightened.
For no face implanted study in reading
can replace
integral experience.


The bright constellations
and lunar body
illuminated my path
that memorable night.
As I turned and strode
without hesitation.

Led to a wall
structured of stone.
Towering 9 ft high
and stretching beyond the ends of time.
Knowing this was
my destination
I approached.

And before me,
configured in such a way
and obscured in the stones
stood 10 glyphs.

Morning and night
I studied these symbols.
Meditating not solely on their meaning,
but their revelation
to me.
An endless period passed
each now a represented force.
Implanted in my being.
Knowing this magnificent effect
would forever change and progress
my days.

And in such a peace
I set for my Path of Return.


-Rising in my bed,
the same night I had departed.-





...and so the student becomes the teacher...

Something about this piece gives me hope for the future, hope that there is something out there to wrap my fingers around, whether tangible or not. My own wall to climb has yet to spring up, but now, I feel that some day, I'll be there, too. But not yet.
