Glow

the mottled canopy
encloses the darkness
of the outdoor room;

faint glimmers
light the paths
that lead to nowhere
and beyond

you take me up
over the benign
and sober
and bring me
to the heights
from which i see
what was once
obscured from below:

the glowing sky
lit by your towering candles
burning the far edges
of our horizon

you're steady
yet fleeting presence
brings my motor
to a hum
taking me back
from the brink
of burnout
and into rest;


i wake from slumber
and stare in jest
lost in thought
within the depths
of your intent globes
which see
and reflect
the joyful bliss
and irreverence
that you're spirit
brings

as light casts itself
on the ridge
i wake from slumber;
yet i wait for nightfall;

to again
see the glow
that your candles
bring

Step out of your mind,
and join the lofty thoughts
that light his sky

gaze out of your eyes
into the harsh glare
and beauty of his world

step out of your consciousness
and liberate
yourself
from the pedestrian
into the heroic yet sublime


flow out of your heart
and feel the heady,
beating rush - the tempo
of his long driving steps

feel out of your gentle hands
into a man's -
sanded by
his labour of love
and grip for life

feel outside your belly
into his tensed gut
braced for life's impact
raring for the next blow

stand above
your own shoulders
and step on his
and see beyond
your own dreams

walk beyond yourself
and actually feel
the ground you trample
and see
where you ought to be

go beyond
from small to medium
to large, even grand

your world
is so much bigger
than yourself

i can show you
if you let me
