The Source by Dejan Stojanovic

There is substance beyond substance, 
A mind beyond matter; 
It grows from itself, 
Follows its own path 
Fed only by the desire to live. 
That's how matter is born, 
How the first poet sings the shamanic song, 
How he romances nothingness 
With the flower of the mind 
Springing out from its source.
