Mystics Voice

Mystics Voice

I heard the call of the Mystic's voice

from a dream I awoke

something within left me no choice

of old legends she spoke

and I was drawn into the night

though my body shivers of fright

and I was drawn

and I was drawn

to the Mystic's voice in twilight

I heard the call of the Mystic's voice

of things lost she bespoke

for sadness I found no rejoice

on my tears I would choke

I cried a moan with no delight

watching her face by candlelight

I cried a moan

I cried a moan

for her pain that captured my sight

I heard the call of the Mystic's voice

such power it could invoke

bound to her will without a choice

deep feelings she would provoke

to her I came into the night

carried by a tremor of fright

to her I came

to her I came

with a new discovered insight

This one is my favorite for many reasons.
First reason (and I won't bore you by running down
a comprehensive list) centers on these lines:

"from a dream I awoke

something within left me no choice

of old legends she spoke"

These lines, I think, invite your readers to understand
that dreams are not cognitive impressions left over from
the daily grind. Instead, they are something akin to your
mystic's voice present in the poem: intangible, more real
than mere reality, and ever present. That's a load to have
in a short poem (a good thing!), and it holds with the patterns I seem to see in your poetry. You're not satisfied with contemplation of a subject, instead, your poetry (and I have to be careful not to generalize here) is a contemplation of a larger
focus...a universe within a universe, a moral within a
moral, etc. Again, that's just my small opinion. I wonder
if it's half-way on the mark.

Next, you give us "the Mystic's voice in twilight."
This is the part that I deeply admire because you make
the sensitive reader think: what's twilight for this poem's
universe? What's it comprised of? Who owns it, who
creates it? I feel it can't just be absence of light, for my
personal reading, my personal myth of this poem, it's
a dimension that spans the dreamer of the poem, the mystic,
and of course, your readers. A purely transcendental
subject universal enough to make us nod in agreement,
but poetic enough to defy explanation. Good move!

I hope there will be another poem or a series of poems
written about this particular "reality." Could it be
that in a way...all your poems branch from this mode....
does the mystic operate as a goddess with a thousand
faces for you? Do your poems occur within her soul and
we are just the travelers in her realm?

Thanks for sharing with us once again!

Thank you

Thank you for your remarks, and I am quite glad you enjoyed this poem, I was very happy with this one, and though I have done many many poems, this might be one of my faveorites.

To address some of the things you have said, well it is true that I do think of myself as being something of a Mystic, and so the idea of the mystic does appear a lot in my poems, as well being a Pagan the Goddess is very imporatant to me, and the Goddess as well as my spiritualy often plays an imporant role influencing my work. And I have stuided many different myths and beliefs so I have a very extended and varried pantheon and so the Goddess and Gods do have many different roles, faces, and voices to me.
