Mystic Gate
by sybil via claire - Jungle Drum Newswire Friday, Dec 1 2017, 11:42pm
international / poetry / post

there is a gate
neither open nor closed
that leads to an invisible garden
a place/space called paradise

its realm is between the seen and unseen,
few enter and fewer still appreciate
or are able to understand
where they are

it is time for me
to enter this timeless, invisible
place

i take flight on the wings of a phoenix
leaving my created self in the fire
of transformation dead in the ashes
of a dead world

i realise when i arrive that i know this place
which realisation grants me an eye to see
its ineffable wonders,
qualities that two eyes can never see

i am here
again,
it is the place of my origination
