Poem
“looking back, I’m ashamed of what I was I’m different now, though not without flaws Each crest becomes a trough, as we move on God slowly steers soul towards a new dawn” Unseeking Seeker Life is like a revolving carousel, moving in interminable circles, revealing rainbow arcs when clouds cloak the silver-stringed alchemy floating above rivers rippling with rhinestone ruins. And time has been a blunt mentor, ticking truths to guide us to a sphere of silence, where, in stillness, we allow the flow of nature to be the soporific voice, reverberating reality with healing laws and lessons from musical minutes rushing through vintage leaves and blooming buds. I remember I was once a stringless parachute lost within the brutal blows of manipulative monsters, intoxicated by self-destruction, while currents of crashing tides pushed me upon the crisp cusps of darkness and despair. I’ve surfed through deceptive waters surrounded by the venomous spines of scorpionfish and poisonous urchins, which stung my vulnerable psyche, submerging me in a sea cave of splintered sapphires and spiteful souvenirs. There, I saw no colors of clarity, and swirled to the vicious tunes sung by turquoise tentacles, oblivious to the flicker of comic light that sparkles with faith amidst ice-green lies spoken in familiar accents. For I was chained with pearls and diamonds, dressed in glistening greed and superficial remnants, disconnected from the sacred symphonies within my soul. But as the midnight glow of the divine moon envelops my skin like chiffon lace, veiling the shame tattooed in burgundy across sleeping skies, I close my eyes, tread along an astral path, purifying my flawed aura, rinsing away tarnished topaz, as seraphic gems adorning twilight unfold an awakening in the most hypnotic rhythm. “O beloved almighty, forgive my fatigued heart tangled in unseasoned fears. Today I shall surrender to the blissful blues and zestful hues, burying my fragile ego six feet beneath, where I waltz, as I embrace the chorus of chrysanthemum anthems, no longer dwelling in drowsiness, for in this realm of spirituality, I feel sanctified jasmines delicately illuminate my senses with tulsi tranquility.” On the quest to find my true twin flame, I’ve found flares of faith resurrecting the burnt cosmos within my consciousness. So here I weave an ode to the seventh garden of Zen, perfumed with pristine peace. I am now the reflection of the shimmering face of an ethereal crescent, still nurturing wilted wisterias, with patience and mindfulness.
