there was a whisper in the air
& my heart's ear heard it.
i've bathed in quiet nights of solitude.
a Mi'raj to the heavens;
embraced in stillness where even the earths gentle breeze could not disturb the leaves.
i've hosted strangers that leave as friends,
walked with them on clouds to greet the suns first light,
wiped tears that turn into smiles,
graced by god just to know them.
witnessed the joy of others,
revelling on an island that clings to its' peace,
as our greed tests its' limits.
i've gazed so deep into eyes of some that i could become lost.
but the light of so many could not leave me in the dark;
for these stars shine & do not know that they guide the sailor;
but even the stars know when it's time to fade & become something greater.
my new treasures have made me lighter,
as i look towards this familiar unknown;
"whats on the horizon?" i ask my self again,
to which i reply "the journey is first"
as i cut the anchor
to drift once more...
