POEM: Enlightenment

ENLIGHTENMENT

In dreams of green and blinding white
he saw the everlasting light.
Shining down to light the night
and reassure all could be right.

Emerging from the dankish green
of brooding forest’s musty scene,
the wandering soul was showered clean
to learn what life can really mean,

Then from confusion’s sinking tide
he saw the path for the right ride,
by shedding foolish human pride
towards real achievement’s guiding stride.
