THE AWAKENING

Paul (Quixote) Alleyne

THE AWAKENING

The Light
The Light
Do you see the light?
Squint — squint some more.

Ahh! Yes, I see it now
Finally!
It is so bright.
Like liquid flames dancing in my head
Its long elegant fingers are beckoning me to come to it
To come closer still

Should I go to it?
I am afraid.
Should I bathe my soul in its purity?

Do not be afraid.
Do not run from it.
Do not hesitate.
Do not draw back from it.
Go to it now.
Your only chance to bask in its warmth
Dance it its glorious ecstasy
And cleanse your soul
Just like I did, a long time ago
Paul Alleyne 12/08/07

    Thanks for the comments, Fiona. I am curious to know more about your comments. Why do you find the image “powerful and disturbing” It can be both, and I would love to know more. Thanks.
