CRIMSON SKY
A crimson Sky breaks the distant shore
stargates opened veils upon veils
portals portending lyrical lemon drops
or so it seemed
since senses were lost
in open labyrinth lots
angels poured purple pearls
lacing comely camomile into timeless space
I heard old lions roar below an empty nest
though my ears gone, where
was nippy nose to smell woohoo fields
so fragrant with bergamot to sneeze?
I who knew me was no more
ego, identity, avatar were
not words I had to tick in boxes
______I had become
observer-listener-knower
transparent as cellophane
Veins and arteries slithering
earthworms d a n
c i ng in S k y
free from flesh or blood to run
graciously they murmured :
‘What is to be done, is to be done’
I remembered a text by Lenin called
‘What is to be done’
it seemed centuries ago
here time had no grids, axis
numbers or clocks, experiences were points
on l u c i d spirals flashing
tiger lilies beckoned on another byway
sensations, spinning signatures along
country alleys forming new Rivers of Life
different degrees of
L o v e
which competed not with glamoured goals
I realised crimson Sky lessons
are taught this way
facets, strings, knots were muddles for
mind to untangle, create flower-of-life patterns
mitochondria float below or above
or omniversal, to a single destination
~ ME, I, ALL, the Imperishable ~
who gifted our offerings
His frequencies, fluting
cherries on top
Keep facing forward
said Sugarbird
the journey inward proliferates doubt
con
fusion, p
l a y
hide and seek
~ disconnect these convolutions ~
narrow focus to inside locus
shaped like Cullinan diamond curved
_____ “ignore demons or demi-gods
with malachite earrings, poppy pendants
or entreaties about historical distractions”
this was Silver Cloud speaking
through all your winters
purpose is Spring
crimson Sky collapsed, distant shore dissolved
a crescent moon fragment landed in
my sunset H e a r t
I c i r c l e d hammock with glittering crimson
