Liquid Dreams
by Teri Sharp
Liquid dreams of the real world beyond -
Radiant & intense, my breath quickens,
I crave the fulfillment of solitude -
Never lonely, but alone in awareness.
Liquid dreams of fetters unbound -
No longer chained to the material world
But afire with the white heat of spiritual wisdom,
My heart electrified by the speechless word.
Liquid dreams of slumbering soul, afraid to waken -
Heedless of the call of the power within,
Mind spinning out beyond eternity -
The anguish of knowing what I do not know.
Liquid dreams of a shell that no longer walks the earth,
For it's essence swims the infinite sea of light,
Going ever deeper & farther into the depths of me,
Seeking the serenity of the inner self.
Liquid dreams of a mental leap into the infinite,
Spiraling into the vortex of unbearable question -
Mind unfurling like an ever-thirsting rose -
Revealing the indescribable beauty within - now I see.
