Tornado
Just on the edge,
Of consciousness,
A lucid dream,
Rips me,
From my peaceful slumber.
A flaming tornado,
Surrounds me,
But I feel no heat.
It is the fiery light,
Of my soul.
The enlightenment,
Hidden inside me,
Where my minds eye,
Can't see.
And just at the moment,
Of waking,
Awareness.
I am the tornado.
My minds eye,
Glimpses,
The blinding light,
Of God.
As quickly,
As the universal knowledge,
Comes,
It's gone.
My eyes open,
A smile grows,
Upon my face
And stays there,
All day.
My chest,
Light as a feather,
I float,
Through the day
Basking,
In the residual sensation,
Of my final destination,
Enlightenment.

This poem is an accounting of the most intense experienced of my life! It changed me beyond the measure of anything the physical plain of existence represents. This poem can not even begin to describe my experience. I don't think it can be fully explained in a language of Man. But this poems try's
This is my first contest so I thought I'd make it a challenge! The only people excluded from my contest are the ones who exclude themselves. Please read the above poem and my notes below it. If you can identify with it then please enter my contest.
Please listen to your moral conscience

when deciding to enter my contest.
Good luck on the path...

When it comes to me, I sit before the portal. The power of all, surpassing all mortal. With the last eye open with glimmering sheen, I have started the motor of my concious machine.

lmao MY MY...INTERESTING CONTEST YOU HAVE GOING ON HERE WILL HAVE TO RETURN AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS....

I see that you have the no prewrites and there are already two poems that were prewrites. Was this closed after you started your contest? I would be writing something new, it just seems odd that they are there. Please let me know. I will return. This sounds interesting.

It may be a glitch because I've run contests and set it as no prewrites and there have been prewrites entered. When I've asked the mods they can't help.
Bill this is one excellent contest! I'll be back if I come up with something.

Bill, I want to thank you for hosting your first contest and I wish the best for all those that are in it. In your words, "The only people excluded from my contest are the ones who exclude themselves." I'm unsure as to why I got DQ'd. It is your choice as it's your contest. Best wishes on the future contests you hold also. Love and God bless, Joyce
