Illumination breed

In longing for transcendence
seek reason of existence
beholding the critical mass
a life long ordeal

Alienation
to keep my mind sane
neglect all mortal values
yet idle hands still hold the key

Illumination means to sense thy presence
Oh thou of ancient grace and timeless wisdom
Far away from tomorrow, no single trace of the past
no distinct shape, not least human
enlighten my weary soul

Ostracised is the blemished world
mockery upon the sheep
vanished shall all burdens be
as the tides of time will turn

Once petrified
a sharp bird moves splendidly towards the sky
