I wait
As before,
Palms outstretched
Tingling,
Sensing,
Feeling all.
Trembling anticipation.
The portal opens.
This time it seems wider.
Voices echo inside my head,
Beckoning me in.
Finally seduced by my gods.
I smile
Knowingly
In recognition.
My heart pounds in my chest.
I breathe deeply,
My senses awakened.
The heady swirling incense smoke
Wafts into every corner of my being.
Old skin finally shed to the floor.
I float encapsulated in a dimension of timeless space.
I honour the love of my gods,
I acknowledge their sacred embrace
And feel their warm breath upon my skin.
I breathe deeply,
My heart quickens as I cross over,
Finally, utterly, complete.
