in this 2012 year
elevating consciousness
our illusive challenge..
an evolution signpost
on a circuitous road..

reaching this marker
finding new directions
depends on awareness..
locating our place
right here and right now..

worthy guides there are
who tell us
we are perched
on a precarious ledge
between light and shade..

other names suffice
for this place
might we say
blessing and curse aka.. (?)
then our guides say..

don't curse the shade
don't curse the curse..
a startling discovery
to be made
in each her own way..

at last she absorbs
the sought for blessing
during a frightening search..
all along disguised
as the accursed curse... (?)
