I followed that star.
Its light shown down through the night -
warm sands beneath me.
A hilly landscape,
seen in the silent distance,
softly welcomed me.
A place I shall call
“ineffable solitude”
swirled all around me.
“Where are you going,
my exquisite sky beacon
and shall I follow?”
I asked once again.
Its starlight seemed uncertain
trembling on its path.
I saw a white glow -
just a sliver of a moon
in a sky’s pocket.
Twilight descended.
I paused and sat a moment.
It ALL pulled me in.
The sands were shifting.
Showers of cherry blossoms?
A marvelous sight!
The tree stood upright.
A desert Cherry Blossom?
“What has brought you here?”
“That star you follow.
You need only remember.
Where you are - I Am.”
I smiled - remembered.
The Cherry Blossoms glistened,
lit up by New Light.
I heard its whisper.
I saw it slowly rising -
my hilly landscape.
Higher and higher -
its form, shifting, called to me.
Above, my sky beacon.
“Am I to climb this
shifting structure made of sand?
How does one begin?”
My sky beacon heard.
“Jump in! See where it leads you.”
Its light spoke to me.
I hesitated.
“I am so in fear of this!”
Its light warmed to me.
Hope and Desire.
I heard them call out to me.
“Amen!” I jumped in.
