Awakened
I open my eyes
see light outlining
the subtle curve of
a cloud,
and streaming
through arches
of an open door
It is a moment
godlike, whole
a breathless
heightened
realization
of things
bigger than
any of us
Tears
cannot help
but flow
silent stream
pooling at
the hollow
of my chest
Beautiful
it is the only word
able to describe
the power
of this moment
I am shaken
to my deepest core
rocked my soul
out of my being
Awakened
I open my eyes
and see light
