Initiation

Speaking to a candle, lit The language of creation Developing from chaotic The looking glass is rippling Novel forms, Symbolism Selectively retaining A fragmented realization Attaching my own meaning I've become apprentice to everything While aspiring to nothing The anteroom of outer space Same as the inner sanctum Arena where I cultivate The spell of my attention Another side of prophecy Apprenticing the mystery Cast and abandoned Severing from pressurized incentive I've become apprentice to everything While aspiring to nothing Waves of change Constructing, Deconstructing All the same Remorseless rebalancing of energy The lurker in the median Disapproval blocking The threshold to remembering Self preservation watching Anybody listening? My mind working against me Threatened insecurity Is asking am I worthy? I've become apprentice to everything While aspiring to nothing Waves of change Constructing, Deconstructing All the same Preserving arbitrarily as memory We are more than our mental intrusions Guided by the compass of desire Awakening from our mass confusion To tether the present, past and future I've become apprentice to everything While aspiring to nothing Waves of change Constructing, Deconstructing All the same Elusive, begin again, I'm listening Divided by the perceived flaws of our expression Contentment opposite the lie of separation The truth in pieces as part of a greater lesson That will reveal itself to those who dare to seek it A book, unbound, words of a language that doesn't exist
