Embrace of Agape Love

In the obscurity of the dark opaque night
across the frozen silence of formidable forest
you need to take the ordained journey forsaken
for you have promises waiting to be kept,
but the winding track of illusive time you lose 
in the entangled gloomy labyrinth of torment.

You hear the WHISPERING wind pass you by,
telling you this journey has no perceptible end.
You're lost in the emptiness fold away from HOME
find the crumbling HEART in the grip of agony.
Collecting COURAGE from the debris of hope
you pray for the HEALING touch.

At the fringe of the fleeting forlorn moment,
glowing in the flash of the inner instant light,
you see the new sun rise in splendor
on the hued horizon of INSPIRATION.
Its golden rays illumine the dark abyss of mind,
REFLECTING the patina of the PASSIONATE soul.

Your PRAYERS light up the supreme essence,
where you discover the precious gift of God
in my unconditional embrace of agave LOVE,
absorbing the corroding flow of your misery.
You find the flood of divine light in the forest,
showing the way to the sunlit sanctum of life.
