Who be thou?
knocking at the door
forcing open
dusty rugged eyes shut for long
Who be thou ?
reaching out into the depths
fishing out moist pains past
erasing stains of aches and tears
Who be thou?
friend or benefactor
what brings you here to these rugged plains
deep set vales & slippery grounds
Who be thou?
fantasy, dream or apparition
what leads the heart to murmur
forehead to sweat.
A breeze breathed by
a smile shined in
a song sang itself
a rainbow rose out of nothing!

I get it. I’ve almost had that experience. “Almost” because I wonder if I am making it up, whether from reading or just wanting. Still, I get it.
The most striking line is “fishing out moist pains past,” but the most inspiring and my favorite part is the beautiful four-line conclusion.
Most elusive phrase: “slippery grounds.” For me it has a moral application, or maybe I’m reaching too far beyond a literal meaning (“it rains a lot here”).
