About the Poem
In the blooming of one's awareness of spirit, comes a compromise of illusion and reality; each lending strength to the other in a mutual rise to greatness. Witness: an awakening.
An Awakening |
| by Randy Guilhas |
| I saw a glimpse of the awakening spirit that is you Caged, perhaps, long ago by the bars of circumstance In pleasure, I witness your escape Many would have us judged by that we own But if we are judged it is by that we give away And what have we, really, to give beyond what we hold within our hearts All else in this life simply fades away If I have been a light in darkness it is but a reflection of the light that finds favor to shine upon me Never mine to hold As even the moon, in all it's glory would fall dark but for the sun, so am I so are we You, my friend, have much to give to many And you will find, in the giving your heart will overflow You never needed to be taught to fly you only needed to remember that you knew how |

This message spoke so strongly to me and reminded me of a dear friend, whom I have had the privilege of being able to watch grow and come into her own. The thoughts are lovely and well-expressed. Look forward to seeing more, soon.

Yet another mind-bending and beautiful work of art from the pen of the KnighWriter. Lovely.
