Mediocre or sublime

i see a shadow.. 

a glowing soul.. 

i need to touch.. 

feel the reality.. 

mediocre or sublime.. 

something pushes 

moves us on.. 

just this once 

i need to stop 

not hurry by.. 

feel.. comprehend.. 

ephemeral 

ethereal.. 

maybe transient.. 

but then so is life.. 

i need to touch both 

to realize something within myself.. 

a shimmering translucence 

glittering enticingly.. 

now here, now there..

maze maze is all i have.. 

there are rays which glint through this maze.. there are hands which raise the veil of this cloud.. 

there are silences 

where i can't find any words 

and yet there are silences 

that need to be heard.. 

there are moments 

that touch so deep inside.. 

sifting through all the masks  

and all the fears that i haven't cried.. 

making me see beauty 

when all i wanted to do was chide.. 

making me look in the mirror 

when all i wanted to do was hide.. 

she walks with me.. 

she writes with me.. 

she is with me... 

and i always wonder  

at this synchronicity 

this comes along 

only once in a lifetime maybe.. 

that someone can see the cage 

and set you free..
