The Ghost of Dionysus

The Ghost of Dionysus

The ghost within vanishes as the mind starts to run
The ghost within cannot be found in nature
The ghost within is a being
The ghost within holds life dear and does not let go

Ohhh Dionysus
How I praise you
The god of revelry and benevolence
How wicked is your mind

The path is so very crooked
With so many twists and turns
I cannot see past the underbrush which guides my eyes
I am blind here

Unchain the ghost within
Free to roam
Free to realize
Free to be aware

The mind opens up
The heart starts racing
The soul is awakened with every new step I take
Where was I again!?

Yes! I was running
Through the forrest with boundless steps
The fog has left my eyes allowing bright sunshine in
It is so much greater than the depths of my eyes

Not a straight path within but winding
Winding through the spirit and into the world
As we all know our souls have grown like vines
Around the world and back

Here I stand
Here I realize my soul’s potential
Again it is the same story,
Not from without but from within

Again things seem so clear
How could I not trust myself before
I, a small human being living in a frightening world
All that was left was the path

Again here I am
Standing in the rain
Taking pleasure at the coldness of the air
Knowing I too am here, a soul and spirit

Ready to be unleashed
Allow me comfort
Allow me grace
Allow me inner peace

For the world is chaos
Ohhh it shall never be anything else
Doubt it and you shall be chained to the abyss of nothingness
Where nature does not move and God does not judge

The human spirit remains locked in a box
No battle
No tug of war
Nothing but straight forward and failure since birth

Give yourself life and offer it to humanity
Chaos reigns free in this world
Allow me to worship it
Become the beast that I am

No denial
Only truth of heart
Truth of mind and soul
True to the wishes of my physical

Nothing shall enslave me
For at last, I feel alive
To live life
A life not yet lost

Here I can breathe and feel free
To follow
To lead
To pray

Free to be present in every moment
God’s hammer shows true in the noonday sun
A life of occasion
A deep breath

And Dionysus comes to my aide
