Do not wait...

in the lost shadows
where will you make of yourself a home
that is stable and sturdy?
will you race into the waves that come and go
so swiftly so as to lose yourself in the chase
that really go nowhere but back again
where you started?
or will you come further out where the shore
is set at a distance
and the ships bounce up and down on the
rising ocean that speak of a substance
much deeper?

when is the time
that you leave the place that holds you in a trance
and step into the unknown depths of your very soul?

this evening friend
i have come for you in this very time
that is the best time to take a step out into the dark
open night
and be what you are made of in heart
and not to go into yourself in mind like the ones
that are so very lost in their actions and voice
so as to be not even well in body and spirit

i cannot tell you anything but to come
now and do not wait
my time is done in the land of the lost
i am so not able to go back there
i can call to you only from this *now*
as this is where you reside as well in spirit
it is true
i cannot speak to you any other way

oh soul
if there was a way to say that you are well
inside
i would say it rightly, but your ears will not hear of it
or your tongue taste of it
until you step in...
the dark night is moving in hauntingly
and so pressing down
as to say
now!
this time my dear
or when?
leave the shade of your own making
and be yourself for once
as this is the way you are meant to be
within a heart
and mind
that is true

this night
is the time and no other
so full in beauty is this soul of yours
that lights up the night sky in glory
this is your true name and calling
not any other
oh dear
come
do not wait

now is the time....
