A calling

If the unseen has ever brushed your spirit
like a feather made of night 
this invitation is yours

come if your bones feel the stirring
if the old songs rise unbidden
like smoke from forgotten altars
come if the wind calls your name
in syllables no tongue remembers

a welcome to wanderers who read the dark
as if it were scripture

if a tremor of knowing
has ever moved through you
without origin
without name
you are already near

to the ones who carry
the quiet that hums before creation
whose footsteps disturb not the moss
but the dream breathing beneath it

in the hush where worlds overlap
I place a small light
not to summon
not to beckon
only to show
that there is a place
where your depth is understood

if your inner wilderness
has ever answered to the wind
if your dreams walk ahead of you
clearing paths unseen by day
you may enter

quietly
softly
as one who remembers
the oldest language
spoken only by shadows and stars

I offer a clearing
woven of breath and stillness
a space between heartbeats
where those who carry hidden fire
may rest
unmasked

come only if something ancient within you
leans toward this moment
like a tree bending toward moonlight
come only if the stirring you feel
is your own

there is a circle here
drawn not on earth
but in the deep field
where recognition moves
before sight
where breath becomes memory
and memory becomes light
where the unseen gathers
and the known dissolves

it waits without urgency
without expectation
a place for the ones
whose spirits walk slightly ahead
of their footsteps

if your soul feels the soft pull
if the veil thins at your touch
if the dark becomes gentle
as you read these words

step through
the path will meet you
as you meet it

you are welcome
in the way the night welcomes stars
quietly
wholly
without question

you scattered lanterns
you hidden rivers
you keepers of soft fire
come stand with me
where silence meets itself
and remembers
we were never alone
