Enlightenment
There was a path deep in the woods,
Beneath the leaves
Hidden by shadows cast by giant trees.
There was also a current under the sea
Beneath the waves
Hidden by black rocks and misty sprays.
There too was a voice carried on the wind
Calling your name
But drowned by the clatter of driving rain.
Yet the moon in the night sky
And the sun in the day
Gave you direction as they lit up your way.
The wind in the ether
Blows clear all the leaves
Exposing the path so you can believe.
The ebb of the tide
Has silenced the seas
There’s now barely a ripple in the gentlest breeze.
The storms that existed
Are now on the wane
A wonderful chance to begin life again.
Enlightenment beckons removing your fear
The future is golden
The direction now clear.
Those steps you have travelled
From the darkness you faced
Now carry you forward to a far greater place.
