Kaleidoscoping from dark to the light, <br />My heart needed to be reigned in tighter. <br /> <br />To ricochet in some swaying rope-dance <br />From somnolence to wanton dalliance <br />Was recipe for every mental ailment. <br />So seeng life should not be thus, my intent <br />Was not to cheapen but to value days. <br /> <br />My heart must have a holiday, not lazy <br />Or recreational, - - transcendental <br />It would then capitulate, see essential <br />Harmony in peace. A sabbatical <br />With silence would not be too radical. <br /> <br />Giving time to time with pressures lost <br />In present moment would not prove costly <br />A secret anniversary - - - with Me. <br />Some spot within where I could dream, freely. <br /> <br />Now I, awakened with this revelation, <br />Welcome my newfound regeneration.<br /><br />Fay Slimm<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-awakening-24/
