I AM THE SILENCE, by Lori Pas
Beneath the cloud of unknowing
Beyond the fog of despair
Prior to scenes kaleidoscopic
Revealed from future and past
I am the Silent Unspoken;
The true dream that will last
Look not on outer dimensions
No matter the wonders you'll find
Focus past your joy and your tension
Seek nothing to hold or to hide
Peer through the blinding veil binding
Regard Me beyond the realm of the known
Envision Me clearly before you
Seek Me not on a cross or a throne
I Am here
Ever changing...evolving
I Am here, in a whim, to transform
Shapeshifting with constant reforming
A realm you will always call "Home"
