To Seek the ESSENCE of you
Immerse your aura in the interpolation between the twilight,
and the moments when your spirit blooms.
Become the mosaic of dreams in shadowed realms.
A wisp of wind, a fleeting sigh.
Your spirit dances, awaiting the unseen...the unknown
Your soul is a melodious lilt of songs,
Yearning the light, like flecks of stardust in the night.
In quiet earthy tones, your nucleus may be found...
A spectral shadow of grace that knows no bound.

Through veils, through mist, your body glides,
A mighty force, a reckoning.
In every leaf, in every stone,
Your essence lingers, seeking the known.
A phantom touch, a breathless trace,
In the distant annals of time, your place,
Once invisible, now burns brightly brilliant,
In your heart and dream - no more a bower quiet
Your essence fills your sleep with mystery...
With secrets yet untold...
Upon Awakening
In the cradle of dawn, with eyes alight,
essence awakens you from dreams of the night.
A spark ignites within your soul,
A gentle whisper, now made whole.
You finally arise, blessed with the morning sun,
A journey of becoming has begun.

In the stillness, essence stirs,
A canvas, blank and wide,
Where colors collide.
From shadows deep, draw with might,
Emerging into the realm of dazzling light.

With each step, your story weave,
Of newfound hope, in golden leaves.
Your spirit soars, a bird set free,
In the vast expanse, it is you, it is your destiny.

In the embrace of morning’s glow,
Awakening begins to show.
A phoenix rising from the fire,
Your essence...purged...pure.

You begin anew.
