Wellspring Within

by Mario Starace, Bayside, NY

Waking up to a life baked into conformity,
makes for a dry dreary existence!

Faking excitement vicariously through entertaining distractions
can only keep an insipid reality at bay for so long. 

Dreams of undiscovered worlds within
manifest in the twilight between deep sleep and almost awake; as if to rewind reality back unto its Source; Beckoning a soul to seek its origins submerged deep,
in a dark well that existed before birth. Out of the depths of a seemingly dark abyss appear
the regenerative waters of self-renewal again gushing inside; flowing to fuel the juices of creativity through rivers of enthusiasm, while allowing refreshing springs of inspiration to emerge. 

Then is the moment to plumb the depths, to follow a heart’s dreams; To fulfill a destiny that calls from afar, is to listen to a quiet Voice that speaks in stillness, yet is ever new, as from a Wellspring Within.
