CRIMSON SKY
A Crimson Sky breaks the distant shore
stargates opening veils upon veils
portals portending lyrical or so it seemed
since senses were lost in labyrinth lots
angels pouring purple pearls into
timeless space
I heard old lions roar below an empty nest
though ears gone ~ I who knew, GONE ! becoming observer-listener-knower
arteries slithering serpents d a n c i ng in
S k y … fleshless, bloodless
beyond Crimson Sky no grids, axis
numbers or clocks, experiences points
on l u c i d spirals F L A S H I N G
tiger lilies beckoned on another byway
sensations spinning signatures along
country alleys, R i v e r s of L i f e
L o v e steppes alongside goals
I realised S k y lessons mystically taught
facets were muddles for mind to
untangle, create flower-of-life patterns
floating omniversal to a single destination
Imperishable gifted His frequencies
“Keep facing forward”, a whisper I heard,
“the journey inward proliferates doubt
confusion, p l a y s h i d e and seek
narrow focus to single locus …
ignore demons or demi-gods with
malachite earrings, poppy pendants
or entreaties about historical distractions
through all winters purpose is S p r i n g.”
Crimson Sky collapsed
distant shore dissolved
a crescent moon landed
in my sunset H e a r t
I c i r c l e d a g l i t t e r i n g moon in my
CRIMSON SKY
