Analysis of Back To Thee



Let me take you on a journey,
  to a place inside yourself

Not the body mind connection,
  but true consciousness itself

Before you walk a darkened space,
  a light must first go on

Not tasked with anything other than,
  an awareness set upon

Your eyes look out, true vision in,
  the stuff of what you’re made

Before the questions were unleashed,
  one answer left unblamed

So close your eyes and close your mind,
   and set your spirit free

The path aglow from whence you came
   —that leads you back to thee

(Dreamsleep: June, 2019)
