    Awake

    Awaken to this poem
    Shadows without form
    Meaning without substance
    Feeling without thought

    Mystical days
    Magic sun rays
    Shine down upon
    What is now gone

    There on the ground
    What have I found?
    An elixir divine
    A potion sublime

    There for the taking
    Heavenly quaking
    Do not disturb
    What others may fear

    A cure for the heart
    Bleeding in vain
    Medicine for the mind
    Food for the gods

    For all those who can see
    The sheer potentiality
    Of what can actually be
    If you shall believe

    In freedom from disease
    Infinite release
    Unrelenting joy
    Uninhibited peace

    Upon my oath I take
    A journey to awake
    Transcend all my fears
    Liquefy the years

    That held me where I was
    Because I was so weak
    Believed what they did speak
    Practiced what they preached

    Now it is the time
    To taste the holy vine
    Take hold they staff and rod
    And conversate with God

    nice symbolic stuff. cool images. message seems open to interpretation, which is good.

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
