Abraxas (From Hesse's Demian)

Imagine my eyes
 as they

might be 
and let sound smolder...

render an image
 if you will, 
a falcon bursting through 

an Egg 
which had surrounded 

He who is millenia older

than we could possibly configure...

royalty of earthen fire !!

borne not of water, 

but of flame

re - borne 

from Mother's eternal ashes...

and made again the same...
