Approaching the apex of transition, transition,
Time speeds out of control, out of…
Hurling ones being into a vortex of past and future energies,
Colliding, fighting, for dominance!
At once believing yourself secure,
You are now catapulted into the spiral, into the spiral, into,
[audio:Ode to the Days Clip 2.mp3]
Torn! Wrenched! Dismantled!
Left naked, unarmed…
Here, where there is no time,
You float, nowhere, with no one,
Marveling at the peace, at the space,
You are suspended in nothingness.
Past…patterns…melt away…
[audio:Ode to the Days Clip 3.mp3]
Eyes peer into a new reality,
Exiting the days, the days of transition,
Embarking, embarking, on the next phase,
On the next phase of being.
