REVERIE

My mind hovers over a cage, a calmly
confounding cacophony of
hoary heartbeats, of prosaic prolificacy
and vain verbigeration, bides
awhile between the flesh and the mirror,
casting off illusions, ere it
could bridge the turmoil and the void.

Revelations of nightly repose segue into
waking visions, merge with
lucid musing, as birdsong with Springtide
mists, their streams I would not
disjoin, for the light of every dream thrills 
through day's darkness, 
quells the unquiet heart's vociferation.

The soul alone whispers, for this element 
of knowing, of limitless expanse,
spurns loudness. It treads the path of Truth
into Life, for to lend utterance
to the Universe's will. Naught could stay its
course, nor slow its flight,
for it yearns to be restored unto the Light.
