Enlightenment Poem by Debra Masky

Here is my haven of enlightenment I thought

As I stand on the barren field

In the cold of the night

My body is as cold as ice

I stand here alone waiting to be enlightened

I am determined to find what I want

But what to do I need to find, I do not know



I look all around me for any particular sign

There is nothing but a vast empty field

I am not sure what to do and where to go

Whether to stay and find

Whether to go and find

Whether to wait and find

Or just to hold on to my patience

And see if that enlightenment came to my mind



Then as ink flows from my pen on to the paper

So do the words to my mind

For I see and aura above my head

And see that I was enlightened

I was enlightened to write what came to me

It may make sense or nonsense but the words

Came as an - Enlightenment to me.
