This voyager seeks answers.
Footprints on raging soil,
treading unhallowed ground.
Dayspring.
An almost knowing.
Perception.
Peeking behind the veil,
she seeks what is hidden.
A threshold? A doorway.
Will it be her undoing?
Drifting, melting, unbinding.
Through the looking glass.
A spectre? An apparition.
Levitating.
Crystalline lake,
The first breath after drowning
Reflection? Mirage.
The firmament and the ocean
Interflowing.
No vista, no blue.
Dissolution.
Merging.
Becoming.
Primordial, yet newly awakened.
The voyager understands.
The door was never there.
The seeking was always the finding.
Transcendence.
Acceptance.
