Seventh Wheel Spins

© 09-05-2009. Olan L. Smith

I journey in cavernous shadows—

Inquiring if this is my course,

Thoughts alone illumine my environs

And I see clearly,

Truly a paradox for I am sightless,

Yet, I perceive transparent alternatives.

I advance questioning what is ahead.

Fearful of an abyss, I stride cautiously―

The path behind falls away,

I cannot retrace my tracks.

Suddenly, an extraordinary vigor

Radiates from my seventh wheel,

A clear form stands adjacent to me,

Lucent—

Nude—

Striking—

She strokes my embodiment;

I acknowledge the touch

And hear her say, "Join me."
