Indigo children reborn
into creation of dreams,
from power so lost; yet found
within teachings of inner mind.
Empowerment – awakening – of true self.
Lay waste the binds of societies ties
and place kisses upon history lived,
to dream a future into existence
while wandering pathways: unseen.
Lead by the hand of angels,
not born within our limited ambit.
Shamanic journeyers – ones, who see in the dark,
while others are blinded by sense restrictions.
Wander to remembrance of alien ideas
not recognised in our myopic viewpoint;
planning a future from misty past,
where all is oneness.
Author notes

It IS blue and out of the box.
"Lay waste the binds of societies ties
and place kisses upon history lived,"
These two lines seemed to capture me. I love the way they sound when read aloud. Such is the sound of Indigo dreams.
Thank you for your entry. Best of luck in the judging. ~Pamela

This is wonderful and reminds me so much of the article I read about Indigo children, who are said to have predominately indigo auras, you have captured all of this within this wonderful write.
Out of the box is wonderful

Your beautiful poem illustrates the mystic presence in every society. There will always be dreamers, psychics and shamans who possess a sixth sense. Good luck in this contest. Peace, Liz

This would be an Indigo quantam leap into this year if this poetic came to fruition! Especially liked " place kisses on history lived" not only does this phraseology have assonance so that it rolls as naturally as a wave onto the seashore it is not dismissive of the past but offers it the tender embrace of lips to heal. Neat.

Fug-azi, What a wonderful take on the prompt you have penned here. Elegant use of verbiage had this flowing softly from the page to my heart. I do hope these children of the new earth will help to find peace for all mankind. Excellent use of metaphors and it most definitely was abstract. Best wishes for you in this round. Some excellent quality in this contest and I see one example of it on this page. Thank you for sharing with all of us and best wishes in this round. Love and God bless, Joyce

a spiritual journey in your words
...a delight to read, and a poem which gives a lot for me to think upon. I like the idea of the wandering spirit and the future based on a 'misty past.'
The indigo children will learn for the journeys of their shamanic minds. It makes me think of the joys of a spirit life rather than the materialism so myopically known by many of our time.
To me, you express these thoughts well, and I can feel the emotion of your poem in the vivid language you have used.

The spiritual connections of this colour
can not be denied. It truly is closely
related to wisdom, the unconscious, and
inner seeking of self. I believe you touch
on all that while keeping the words metaphoric
and focused. Blue

Great wording makes this a fascinating read! I saw a special on the 'Indigo' children - so interesting.
This is very well done, great wording and images, reads nicely and holds the interest.
Very enjoyable.
best wishes in your contest.
