Once my mind
Was duly occupied
I assigned it a pin
And a few dozen
Legion of angels
Issuing the challenge
Go ahead
Stack away!!
What can now be expected
Of the meditation/mystery tour
As I sink fully and completely
Into the cushion beneath me
Hey I am fully supported
And how deliciously
Sensual and intimate
Why hello there
"Come here often"
Of course you do
Heart of my heart
What a delight
To meet this way
A pathway you say?
Okay .. let's go
Won't be needing these shoes
Wow the cool moist
Mossy leaf strewn
Path
Is such a joy
Each step
Draws me more deeply
Into the earth
While the tree-drenched
Air envelops me
Head to toe
Enticed deeper into the forest
By the crystalline staccato
Of distant water
Beckoning a rendezvous
Arriving at the pristine waters
There upon it's banks
A large stone
That has been sculpted
Smooth
By time itself
And warmed by
the morning sun
Lying there
I can both
See the upstream
Waterfall
And catch
My image
Cast in my direction
By the fathomless abyss
Of the stream's
Reflective eye
There is
A unfamiliar but welcome
Love and compassion
Emanating
Up from the still
Depths
The rippling waters
Are trance inducing
No longer
Able to discern
Waking consciousness
What is then serving
As my awareness
Is impressed
By the message
I'm to receive
Gifts
That are to be
Impressed directly
Into my heart
I am
First visited
By a beautiful fairy
With silken wings
And breath-stealing
Emerald eyes
Doorways to the very
Life essence of the forest
She gives me
Three acorns
Strength, Wisdom, Integrity
Next to visit
A formless luminous spectre
Which presented a harp
Seek "Harmony"
From far beneath
The surface
First
Air bubbles
Broke the surface
Then stillness
Erupted
As a mermaid
Catapulted
Herself skyward
And landed gently
Upon the rock's surface
Right along side me
In her out stretched hands
Was the most exquisite Lotus
Symbolizing
Rebirth, purity, spiritual awakening
The mirrored surface of the stream
Came to a rolling boil
Stirred by the undulating power
Of a dragon
Whipping the water
Into a frothy nog-like state
As it made its way to the water's edge
It's scales gleamed an iridescent
Rainbow's smile
From one massive clawed appendage
I was handed the most magnificent sword
Courage, Valour, Power and Compassion
The final visitor
Betrayed it's stealth
As hooves hammered
A tell-tale rhythm
Before it's head broke
Through the glade
A unicorn
The most radiant
Of white
With a horn
That refracted
The sun
As does the most
Perfectly chiseled
Gem's facet
From the Unicorn
The most
Complete transmission
Of Unconditional Love
Misguided concerns
of worthiness
Were vanquished instantaneously
As I stirred from
My previous trance state
And began the return trek
And my mind
Began to assert itself
Having tired
Of counting angels
It began to cast
Doubt
Upon the events
That had so recently
Unfolded
Hadn't they?
It was then
That my heart
Began to beat
Such that I was
Sure it could be heard
Across the room
Across the nearly
Faded veil
Left upon my consciousness
Flashed
"All the treasure is in your chest."
