Mindful Meditation: My Lighthouse (A Poem)

A short poem I wrote in 2014 as a much younger lad. To me, it's about the elusive past and future, the binds that hold us still, and a yearning for true freedom. Revisiting it, I thought to record it and share it with you all. Wherever you may be in the dark night, my wish is that you find it healing and hopeful, like a stroke of moonlight on your path.

A darker day today,

Wings clipped,

The morning hearts lament out to me in their jars on the shelves.

In the darkness,

It's always a hit and miss cacophony.

In what constellation have we found ourselves?

This silken garment,

I'm dressed in an ocean of beliefs,

More or less just an outfit to make me feel free.

But when the morning calls,

Calls out to me,

Your touch of life always breezes by in this ecstasy.

Teach me to live free and make the leap.

When it's a lighter day,

Maybe the sky will clear.

And I'll set the hearts free,

This baggage off of me.

Spread my wings,

For once,

Unafraid,

So I can at last fly out to you.

Down by the sea,

The blue body reeks beautifully,

A testament of the dead,

Of our love and of life.

This broken down harbor house is just a personality.

Could you shine your light on this troubled mind tonight?

My song travels over your waters,

But I can't wait for tomorrow.

Every night I paint pictures of your soul.

Can you see?

Your goals may pick at my spirit,

But I'll always be gazing out the window.

Although we live in the Moon's lunacy,

You're always smiling back at me.
