Into the Otherland

Just this morning

I went walking

In the Garden of my Mind

A hundred scents greeted me

A thousand petalled faces smiled

A single leaf was shed for me

Falling to the footsteps of my heart

I met a man under a tree

He smiled in greeting

Dressed in pants of green

Shirt of white

His skin Dark. Olive.

His eyes sinking blue

I am Valdinore

I would be your guide

I would partner you in the dance

His third baffled me

I knew of no dance

I heard no music

The music is inside

He replied

Answering

An unspoken wondering

He took my hand

He held me

As we turned and twirled

My feet finding the melody before my mind

We danced for hours

Never tiring

The tempo falling and rising

Without bidding

It was the music of life

The melody the tune of my soul

He knew the music

He knew the dance

He would teach me

Guide me

Lead me

Hold me

In the coloured garden of thought

I found the soul symphony already playing for me
