A strong swimmer with
a soul as deep as the sea
caught in an emotional riptide
of dysfunctional turmoil
I beckon you
Escape to my obscure outpost
Join me in the shadows
as we filter out the glare and noise
from the blinding brightness
and deafening sound
of sensory overload
Experience the calm, quiet depth of the dark
Gain insight and rhythm
necessary to safely achieve balance
Connect your thoughts to your actions
Acknowledge your ambivalence that both attracts and repels
as the pendulum swings from empathy to antipathy
We are constructed
from stardust created at the beginning of time
Interchangeable energy and matter
Each seeking our place in the Cosmos
Our separateness provides
the vision to contrast and compare
reflections from a myriad of vibrating molecules
Building blocks for diamonds and crystal prisms
embracing all spectrums of the rainbow
Until we depart
as resonating auras of spiritual color
rejoining the essence of Pure White Light
The primordial echo of the Universe
