I witness…

 Sparkling lights in the dark
Crackling in the silent hour
Silver or gold maybe white
They were all so bright

I stared unblinking so amazed
At every sparkle I gazed
Devoid of hues intrinsic clues
But yet I felt I saw some blues

A li’l stunned I watched each phase
Colours flew in a sparkling haze
A spectacular sight it bewildered my eye
A smile it brought though I felt a li’l wry

I closed my eyes to banish it so
I thought it would all just go
A purple glow is what I saw
A lamp within is what I saw

With my eyes shut so tight
How could I see something so bright?
A shiver passed through as I felt a fear
A purple gleam I held it near

Was this my imagination?
Or was it an invitation
To explore and tread
Something I had never read

Was it a path inherent in me?
To glance within and to see
The laughter the sparkle
The chime and the crackle

With open eyes I could witness
A purple hue with golden harness
Elated I was, that was the prophecy
Remembrance I felt of the supremacy

The Haze

Where was I in this haze

Grey and blue like a maze

Streaks of orange and red

In a trance I was led

Was it inside or outside

the haze now spread from all sides

Yet I saw a light so bright

In the twilight I saw light

Amidst the haze and color

In complete awestruck wonder

Even as it shook my demeanor

I knew then I had to surrender

The light attractive and bright

Was there, yet so far from sight

Lost I was I felt great plight

In this essence I sought delight

Was I a part of it

Or was it a part of me

That close it was

Now no longer sure

Was it all inside

or was it all outside

Where was this in entirety

In my mind or was it a dream?

Not yet sure where I was

Was the haze within me?

Where then was the light so bright?

I then knew…it was me…

I saw the infinite light

trapped in a haze of illusion

even as the haze moved aside

the colors no longer bright

All I could see with delight

Was a plain white light

Deep within with delight

joy and surrender felt so light
