Emergence

Dancing to escape the poverty of a future of broken dreams Her childhood fantasies afire with glimmering fairies

Moving, swaying to the beat of an enchanted world unseen, Unexplored, uncharted, insistent in its beckoning call to know What is unknown.

The spirit of one so drawn into the hidden World of the soul's delight must with caution approach the mystery Lest she descend back into mind's darker realms leaving her Chosen path behind.

Not shame nor fear of growth deters her resolve nor determination to lay down ghosts of seasons past

Once kicking, fighting, resisting, to their well deserved eternal Rest.

With each awakening breath her heart quickens it's beat, Quietness gives rise to chatter. The serpent emerges in full regalia And the ancient dialogue begins again.

Visions has she standing Alone and naked bridging a landscape of the most treacherous terrain.

Navigating stormy waters, oceans and seas tumultuous rising Mountains and valleys blending into one.

Elusive is the tranquility slumbering Within the belly of the beast.

Solitude once so invasive is now embraced Giving voice to the song emerging from her depths.

The land of people, venturing into new territory, hidden once but not unseen By the inner eye's curious glance; the child retreats the woman advances And daybreak dawns casting its light through the haunted Glen.

x refers to the path we take in life, in which echo’s from our past may visit us. The difference being is that now they are in ghost form and we are not frightened by their occasional appearances because we have grown in mind, body, and spirit, and are able to let them go instead of remaining attached to them.
