Ascension

Inner visions through a window pane
blowing open the doors of perception
to higher realms of mystic fascination
tap steps signaling time for meditation
the sounds of a prophet calling us to
awaken as minds take flight to spaces
where free jazz riffs echo like birds of
beauty singing for you and me reminders
to keep our lamps trimmed and burning
until the light of the world rises on distant
vistas for two hearts beating om mani
padme um chant peaceful loving people
under the sun bringing compassion and
joy to everyone whose journey over the
moon has just begun composing torch
songs for the Chosen One symphonies of
soul beyond all comprehension singing
in a foreign tongue the universal language
of love reaching, reaching, reaching for one
cathartic note from the horn of Joshua or
John Coltrane as if shifting tectonic plates
colliding in the essence of our being freeing
us from all turmoil and tension lifting us to
a higher place where we embrace eternal
desire in the holy moment of our ascension
