I Turned the Page . . .

I turned the page and there before me an open door

Untainted more and more, the more I turned

Fresh velvet violets in sweet scented pools

The light revealed there

And forests further in, where I followed in further

I faced the page and there before me an open space

Unsealed more and more the harder I searched

Swift silver swallows in fast flighted wells

The glimpse concealed there   

And Everland beyond, where I walked in beyond

I read the page and there before me an open mind

Unfastened more and more the faster I went

Wisps and willows in long languid streams

The love outpoured there

And Heart’s Ease within, where I within I went

I held to the page and there before me an open heart

Overt more and more the surer I was

Vast treasured truths in kind captured books   

The distance travelled there

And Kingdoms further in, where I further ventured

I had wanted a gem and there before me an open bounty

Truth filled, and more and more, the more I ‘died’ there

Hope’s honeyed harvests in sap savoured rivers

And serenity inside, where I bathed in insides
