Enlightenment

Julia Saxton

When lifted from a shallow view
Peering through the confines
One captures something hidden
The eternal expanse within the mind
Of clarity and actuality
Then curiosity’s unquenchable sensation
Gathers all energy forward
Pulling from within
One’s capacity stretching thin
Then in a marginal moment
Your aura sings a piercing tone
Dissonance dissipates
Where enlightenment resonates
Breaching the barriers of perception
Birthing a new conception
On old self left behind
When epiphany elates the mind

I am an ordinary person with many passions. I have a bittersweet sentiment toward the complex conflict that turns up in life. There are no seam binding solutions, no simple categorizations for true nature. To oversimplify is to slander the intricacy of human experience. That is what poetry is to me: a discussion on the experience of being human.
