CRIMSON SKY

 
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 and
comely camomile into timeless space

I heard old lions roar below an empty nest
though ears gone ~ I who knew me GONE ! 
becoming observer-listener-knower
arteries slithering serpents  d a n  
                                                       c i ng  in  S k y 
            free from flesh or blood  
            
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 forming  R i v e r s  of  L i f e

L o v e  degrees alongside glamour goals
I realised  S k y  lessons are mystically taught 
facets, strings, knots were muddles for mind 
to untangle, create flower-of-life patterns
mitochondria floating omniversal
to a single destination 

the 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 inside locus …

ignore demons or demi-gods with 
malachite earrings, poppy pendants 
or entreaties about historical distractions 
through all your 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

                          SUNSET
                                        CRIMSON 
                                                         SKY
