Totem...(a challenge Poem)

Relaxed now Just breathing In and out Slowly A light meditation Just to start Good for the soul Going a little deeper Longer and slower breaths Releasing pent up toxins Mental and emotional Seeking that quiet place within As sounds of the outside world disolve Thoughts unravel Time expands Lending it's self To other realities. Colors and imagery Embrace my mind Indistinct and translucent Intention coalescence. Long have been the years of preparation To seek this powerful totem The last of a mythical race The sum of it's race's exsistance Wise beyound mortal standards With my mind I create An oasis of flowering inspiration A place of saftey and peacefulness As I lean against an ancient oak I will my self to feel its irregular surface Sitting upon grass thick and luxurious I watch as birds fly by And listen to the sounds Of a distant stream I am comfortable I close my eyes And in serenity I wait Warmth focuses my reality As I feel before me A great energy Almost elemental in it's nature Masculine and sensative I rise from my seated position Eyes still closed Reaching up and out my fingers connect Lightly dancing over hair and structure A horses head comes to my minds eye Tracing fingers around socket and jaw I feel the beauty before me Head bowed in significant wonder At meeting him at last I open my eyes And behold Long graceful horn pearlescent and divine eminating enchantments challenging the fabric of my mind eyes wiser than time look into mine seeking connection finding acceptance Silent communication Whirls breath taking Gathering momentum It shatters my world Carrying me in his Memories and forgotten pasts Fade alarming All essence that is mine Eludes thoughtful mind He gathers my soul into his Joining in elemental tempest We become one As I no longer a search for a totem To lead and qualify This journey is an emergence Into something else An awakening to a higher vibration A dream becoming a reality As the last unicorn Relinquishes it's identity And I become one with myself Written February 18th, 2002 © on Feb 18 2002 02:04 PM PST   18 • 0 • 13
