The Deep Within

I close my eyes and the universe within me stirs
Across a thousand seas the stars shine bright and golden suns explode
A shattering note starts the spinning, starts the yearning
Deep within I call out across the vastness of time.
My eyes are closed and deep within the search begins,
Images fly past of time and space, radio signals caught in waves
Fires burn and worlds collide in perfect formation.

Birth and death united as one, many lives spun as golden thread
Temples, songs, hymns and prayers all burst into flame
Burn deep within, fleeting moments cast upon the ocean
Picture images frozen in time, a thousand voices clammer to be heard
The gates are open, the light shines bright
And in her beauty she shines like a beacon.

In this moment of solitude I call deep within
Confusion, sorrow, pain and joy,
All the things I feel in this sweeping moment of time.
Time? What is time? The numbers change, the hands go by,
But in this stillness time is nothing
A fleeting moment, a memory stored
If I could express what I feel and see,
The pain would be gone and all would be clear
But the path is hard, and sometimes lonely.

But in her beauty she shines like a beacon
A star so bright, a moon so pure
My soul is lifted and in her wings I seek her shelter
In her light there is only joy
The tears I've cried are washed away
For in her beauty she shines like a star.
