Distant Shore

Shadows may creep like a restless river
Rolling, advancing, pulling
The shore may fade further in the distance
smaller, seemingly untouchable.
The fog settles,
An endless mirage of sound and sightlessness,
smothering, choking, panicking
taunting my mind
Aggrevating my soul!
Demanding a voice that wouldn't speak!

Come on!

COME ON!!!! it fires

AAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Silence settles back in

I dare to open an eye,
Then 2
A brief sequin of light barely visible
A momentary breath of warmth.

Oh?

Oh Yeah!

More glitter shimmering across my face
There it is an opening...a steady stream of light

I blink

And the mist is retreating back with shadow, waving and dancing
A smile raises upon my soul
The shore, more vast, more magical, more clear
rests beneath my feet.
The angels sing again
Setting us forth to another shore that needs our attention.

One Earth.
