brazened truth

dream not of me
dream not of me
in the evening of darkness
as I step into the forest of unknown shadows
as I step inside
don’t follow me
ere the shadows envelop thee

and as in the stars and a moonlit night
the shadows lengthen,
let darkness see its end
move on into the inner stretches unknown
in the eerie night the sounds of wild
shake me not in fear
of who is what
as the walk of loneliness I pursue
into the early morning too
as sun rays play hide and seek
with the rustling leaves ….
stay far behind,
lest in the shadows still long enough
you fall into the brazened darkness of ignorance,
as the sun winds its way through
from darkness to light
my life does ensue
as I emerge as the enlightened one
still erect as sacred though not new...
