Rising Out Of The Darkness

Rising Out Of The Darkness

A single note rises out of the darkness,
warbling in shrill vibration,
its haunting trill echoing in the shadows,
its melancholy tones resonating,
reverberating through flesh and bone,
searing the soul, inflaming the spirit.
It is poignant and evocative
as its eerie call lingers
through the space of eternity,
hanging by a single thread,
as it casts a spell of enchanted quietude,
bringing the world into singular focus,
beyond the realm of the flesh,
beyond the illusion of reality.
And as its plaintive tones
rise upon the wind's gentle churning currents,
it baths the ear, setting it awash in its beckoning cry
and beguiles the mind into a
transient state of ethereal flux,
setting it free to flow along heavenly airstreams.
And as the heart tenderly touches
the apex of celestial illumination,
it is brought home once more,
exhausted and exhilarated,
from a long journey of spiritual awakening,
bound within the wistful elegiac call
of a single reedy note which
lights the way through the darkness.
