Enlightenment

in quiet footsteps and birds’ song
plays
voiceless speeches
millennia’s memories
music

cairns stand vigil
ageless guides

cold sandstone
waiting for dawn
whispers
like a cat’s tongue
abrasive
across naked feet
wears away the callus of the soul 

around a corner
revelation
delicate window into heaven
perched on the edge
solitary guardian
strength
greeting day’s first light

illuminated by the sun
it is what it is
Ahyeh-Asher-Ahyeh
I become what I am
and ever will be
