Dark Spectrum

We all live life counting the years, noting the milestones. But is it the years in our life or the life in our years that matter?We all go to school to learn, to grow up. Is it about how smart we are or how we are smart? Society pulls the wool over our eyes because we allow it. Sometimes we do not ever realise. But do we want our life lived for us, fixed and determined by things outside ourselves? We may believe that we are really that helpless. Or not. And then something can happen to us that causes us to wake up, step out of the fog, seemingly to see clearly for the first time. What am I doing? Where am I? Who am I really? And what has this life been about that I thought I was living and now seems like something foreign to me?I perceive the world as if through new eyes, hear things previously silent, feel and sense anew. You are not alone on this journey, this waking up to yourself and all about you. Do not be afraid. This is your glorious adventure. And these poems are part of my adventure that I will share with you.
