Whispers at 4 AM


(A lone voice whispers)



Before 

And after


Night and day


Before 

And after


Time and all its

Endless rhymes


Before the loud explosion

Of creation


I walked in the shadows

Parted floating orbs of

Thought


To find 

What I sought


A light of such irreducible beauty


For you see

In the higher clouds


While on Gods 

Mountain


I once met

A soul 


While passing a fountain


It's light lingered

Flickered

And then 


Like lightning


Stuck my inner core

Like thunder


And left me these thirteen words


On which to ponder


Find me

Beyond The Lands

Of Gilgamesh 


So our true love

Can commence


So its why I search

The Silken Web


To be reunited 

With that orb

Again


The one

I once met


By the sacred fountain


On Gods

Holy Mountain


Pray for me


Ariel

The Eternal Searcher

Of the Night


Some say blessed

Some say dammed


Tasked to find

His soulmate 


Hidden amongst the

Millions of God's Light
