The Music Burning In My Soul Poem by Robert Hilary

within i dwell upon the heat of my heart that burns with a subtle warmth as the light of a candle, seeping into my bones as i feel the melody that it plays as the candle burns, a lantern in the darkness that serenades the night. kissing shadows with its light. burning calm and bright. that it may peirce the unknown, giving sight. into what is and what may be. as i walk upon the path, through the dark, the ground littered with glittering crystals that glow as stars in the darkness, alighting my path, as i walk straight and true, as i guard my flame, from the wind and the shadows. humbly, quietly, with sure footed steps. i walk upon the path, determined to reach the end, with my robes unsullied and my candle lit. as i hold it before me, burning in the night. its warmth ever a guide. a sure guiding light. i walk forward with ever steady steps. as the shadows whisper in the eve. in my heart i believe, in my dreams, in which i conceive, giving birth, to my higher aspirations as i receive the treasures that each step upon the path bestow. walking onward into the darkness. my candle singing its warm melody into the path that stretches endless before me, as i slowly, dancing within my soul to the music that burns within me, fueling my candles flame as it lights the way before me, the flames dancing in my heart. as hooded and veiled i walk, vast in my secret power, deep in my art. hidden under the shadow of the darkness. stepping forward into the unknown. counting the glowing crystals on the ground with every step, upon the path that glows like stars before my every step. as i walk ever slowly, with a steady pace, upon the illuminated path wreathed in the shade of darkness, to come before the door way, with my candle lit, with the hope that the guardians may open it. and that i may go within, and there reside, and within my heart, in its gentle song, with secrets deep, and power strong, into the temple where i belong. that the whisperings of magic within my soul. may pour as a fountain into the secret temple of the wisdom of the knowledge of the magic within. and in its understanding would i begin. to comprehend. the depth within my soul. as i come to the gate and enter unto the threshold of the secret depth of magic, and thus behold. within my heart, a music burning in my soul. that whispers deeply, that i might drink sweetly, the fullness and ecstacy, of the mystery, the mystery of god. <3
