The Revelers

"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson The Revelers A tilt of the head and there's a universe never seen before in time and space, and passing strange—it's boiling hot, contemptuous in its familiarity, for though the slate is new, it mocks the mind and speaks of high adventure, Mondrian upon the wall, the queen of age enlightening... that fresh page, a ship at anchor, tugging at the post to sail before the morning's past. Do you feel it? Can you breathe the air Arcturus saw when you were born, and passes on afresh— stirred anew this time around with one forgotten eyelash? And, do the changes thunder in your heart? We are the revelers, the chasers of the dawn, who from our beds may joyfully engage Leviathan, or rage upon black flowers of the night that dare to cast their shadow on the day. ~
