In Silence He Sleeps

In silence He sleeps
In the sanctum of the human heart
Within inertia He moves
His creation endureth
That love might be born
That He might have knowledge of Himself

The woman, that is the soul, exiled
That the unbreakable bond might be forged
God sent her into the world
That He might learn more of Himself
He sent for her because he could not bear
To be without her

She who was Enoch's equal
She who brought light into this world
She who was banished
And in her solitary cell love was forged

I walked through the dark and only through the dark
Until I met with others throughout the palaces of the dawn
I walked all night to find them if they had knowledge of my love
Through a chaos of streets
An observatory of dreams
A glittering sea of faces

I heard a lone voice say: "I have no mountains nor vales
My gardens are my dreams. . ."

It seems real

reading this poem materializes the dream. Very well expressed...except for the title, it sounds nonspecific! Otherwise, it's excellent...it's the type of poems that defeats time~
