UPON THE ALTAR

* MUSING * written by Elaina Dec 2019

Iron bars shatter into stars
wakeful eyes see
the quest of a single Reality

Beyond the veil of promise,
the spell of believing,
or desires compelling charm

Contracting memories
echo from within;
ripples of an idle sea

A suspended breath
lies rooted in our lungs;
matrix of a wedded Sun

Upon the hearth of spirit
an infinite flame
straddles the edge of time

Pledged to the space between
a spark is born again
on the altar of awakening
