Portal

I stand at the edge of a portal

Feet rooted to the ground

The air is still

Earth holds her breath

Stars fracture without sound

☀️

I stand at the edge of a portal

Words catching, not yet formed 

My eyes don’t see

Yet I perceive 

A welcome rite, performed 

☀️

Stand at the edge of a portal

Sounds humming in my ears

A mantra, sweet

Inviting me

To cross, and shed all fear

☀️

I stand at the edge of a portal

I know the time has come

A silent roar

A golden haze

A prophecy undone
