KENAZ

Torch Fire
It was a cruel and brutal hour, under starlit sky sublime, I’d contemplated everything, of reason, faith, and time; when at first I met that voice, which cut through heart and mind.
“My dear why do you walk alone, with troubles of this kind?”
Startled humble by the question, I tried to answer true; I knew it came from deep within, and I knew what I must do.
“The way is dark,” I answered, “and trust is running low.” “Teach me oh thou inner voice, what it is that I should know.”
The image shimmering answered, as it began to glow. With humor I could hear her say, voice coming soft and slow; “Your heart is true but incomplete, you need your light to grow. This is not the place of Gods. I cannot say, what is the way, for fear to break your odds. You have the strength it takes inside, but I can bring it forth. I’ll tell you what to do my friend. In silence is your test, listen to me closely dear, put away your every fear, and let your feelings rest.
Only then will what is deep within burst out of heart and chest. Kenaz reveals nature’s law, she is the Torch you seek!
I’ll send her forth by ancient means, be patient, you will meet.”

And then she fast departed, I retired then to bed, and dreamed of eras past, and followed where they led.

Another night passed on ahead, filled with harsh and undo dread. I availed myself of silence, and remembered what she said; that patience would bring forth my guide and peace in my own head.
