AWAKENING

Do you realize how unspoken fears prefer to make an appearance in the dark,

and nightmares seem to have become the norm while asleep..

It makes you wonder why people revel in the allure of darkness,

and many find pleasure in the depths of gloom.

You drift through life distractedly,

like waltzing in a ballroom, drunk on the music.

Your words tucked in beneath the blanket of approval,

only nodding to what everyone deems acceptable.

Do you also notice how the morning air carries a certain magic, 

like whispers of a story waiting to unfold..

Almost like the world is holding it's breath,

waiting for that version of you to make an entrance.

The paths that have everyone cowering in fear and whispering alternatives,

paths that only have tales from people who have never walked them.

There's a part of you that subtly shows sparks of a new flame.

The scent of possibilities and a taste of uncharted dreams.

You yearn for transformation, and are consequently shut down by a feeble idea of realism.

Although hope flickers, even the darkest night must yield to dawn.

7 colors of a spectrum we've been taught,

but the moment you begin to see beyond the spectrum, 

everything changes.

Fear morphs into strength and nightmares become dreams.

There's a knowing that you were made for something greater,

and you come from a much higher place.

Suddenly, all the time in the world seems too little,

to accomplish everything you need to.

Perhaps you were made for this moment,

the moment where your purpose is revealed and your blindfold comes off.

But an awakening like this, requires something else to end.

When that happens,

step forth and lift the veil off everyone else.
