secret Mountain Rescue - the Return -

Dances with eagles in skinny oxygen Silence is regal, time is an abstract I humbly look up, at your majestic existence So still, so cold, so proud, but so much like me… So timid in the slap of the Northern winds So in love with love So much shaken by earthquakes of Human Nature grinning in colliding plateaus with deep faults. In the blind of darkness I only have your secret, inner warmth Lava of our Souls perforates geological barriers, Layer after layer of memories of past lives…remember? Our underwater games, the Raising above our Black Sea level The playful puffs of steaming magma cooling off dreams into Reality… I see dances of eagles shooed by a deafening propeller I float in a basket above you: I AM THE QUEEN OF THE WORLD !!! …and I can fly in the eternity and beyond!!! You remain smiling coldly , nostalgically still, endlessly Majestic As I become smaller, and smaller, and smaller In a minuscule Black Hole where mountains become Gods As I turn into a still, cold, and proud abstract in the Rotunda of my childhood Gardens back home…
