Lucid Waking

I stand once more before the door

That opens onto unknown lands

I'm searching for the threshold lore

That's buried deep beneath the sands

x

Shifting upon some distant shore

That long ago an ocean kissed

Yet now it is an endless store

Of silence which will not be missed

x

When chaos claims the codex core

And shades corrupt the lion's roar

When pride blinds us to crucial flaws

Cause every clause must have its claws

x

This dejavu is nothing new

Echoes abound in memory

Association is the glue

That catches flies in reverie

x

The honey up above, it glows

Like gold, it drips upon my nose

The sweetest rose, perfume it throws

Upon all those whose sins it knows

x

Perceive the pieces of the past

The lesson asking to be learnt

The spell that's calling to be cast

The rebirth which stands to be earnt

x

To break free of the locked esprit

Of previous identity

To clear conceptual debris

Define dynamic destiny

x

To take responsibility

And grow in proactivity

To cultivate more honesty

And calibrate for modesty

x

The hall of mirrors calls to me

For in reflection lies the key

To sowing curiosity

About what one cares not to see

x

One learns to question death's decree

By recalling his hold on thee

And so, one seeks simply to be

And thus, one tends the lightning tree

x

Yea, fright'ning though true trying is

In this lies true nobility

The magus knows this is his biz:

To unlock possibility

x

The Quill, The Blade, The Pillar calls

They sing out and ignite my soul

So that it thirsts for fabled falls

Wherein my I could be made whole

x

And this alone, I know's the goal

The target at which essence aims

To forge a diamond out of coal

To build a castle out of claims

x

To use the word to light the way

To write the future with today

To master both body and mind

Surrender and what you may find

x

Is that there is no break to bind

Because you signed your name while blind

And so, if you sincerely pray

The sun just may come out to play
