Poetry: Encantada (Enchanted)

Poem from my manuscript "Encantada"

Encantada

The stars in the sky pulsate with rich life, a tapestry

Of organisms guiding us on the ocean which we cross over.

And on the other side, the absence of time greets us; spiritual beings,

Energy-like stars exploding into shards of light.

We reflect on what has been, but we must stop clinging to useless life jackets. 

Forgo the competition of our race.

We are the best and the bravest, the quickest, and the most intelligent. 

We’re perfect in divine essence so seek and you’ll find the love that you have been searching for within yourselves.

The wait has ended.  Open the door and venture inside.  Let go of the lost dreams and leave your nightmares on the doorstep. 

We are the trees, the flowers and the birds.

We are the mountains, the ocean as she licks our toes and

The fish as they swim downstream.

No more need for pain and suffering.  There is no discrimination on these shores.  No sands of time to age us.  No more lost souls since we are found and not forgotten.

Love, ceaseless love, never tiring love, Venus unravels our tired limbs. 

She coos, "Rest here, sleep here, dream here under the moon and the stars."

Such a sweet lullaby, so we ascend.
