Shining Returning

How?
Why?
Who?


He wakens from a troubled dream
Expecting the darkness
Anticipating the customary dread
But then the surprise ….

Bright sunlit meadows meet his eyes
Birdsong fills his ears
The scent of summer flowers pervade his nostrils
The touch of dew kissed grass caresses his form

Then he recalls hs plight
The dream which was not a dream
His release from that tortured capture
Escape from the soul stealer by an identity unknown

Back into the realms of light
No longer held by a rapture of darkest night …
The first hints of voices caress the back of his mind
Forgotten presence which he'd missed for so long

A time of solitude and separation is over now
As the curse is finally lifted
His power will return in time
He is within a shining veil
For healing

Realisation looms
His consciousness expands
Lifts … soars ….
Looms into a forgotten identity
A flurry then of dreamlike thoughts

And his awareness is restored
Back into a life within the realm of the separated
Back into an existence of an incarnated human
No longer the same

An escapee from the deadlights of a demon
Freed from the corrosive spell of a siren
The black widow relinquishing at last his spirit
His shining like quicksilver
Returning
