Illuminated
I don’t remember,
Choosing to traverse this steep cavern.
One foot lodged precariously on the slippery rock face,
The other foot dangling, feeling into the dark void for a foothold,
I don’t remember choosing to traverse even deeper into this penetrating dampness,
My hands grab this ridge of crumbling security,
I step onto this slippery nothingness,
I see demons heavily breathing their fire of initiation,
Along the walls of this cavern,
My remaining courage,
Is Fringed,
I release my deep moan,
Then,
What is this?
I feel harness, helmet and safety climbing ropes,
That have always been on me,
Amazed,
I am safe, am held.
I hear the deep voice from my heart,
“You cannot fall inwards,
Are always held,
You can only fall,
While climbing outward,
From your heart”…
