Written for Unseeking Seekers's line of enquiry; contest, descent and ascent
“on an as is where is basis we choose
descent of consciousness into the gross
then we rise again following heart’s muse
higher than where stood, bearing love’s cross” Unseeking Seeker
I am a silent cypress,
facing the silver of serpentine stars,
strewn in parallel lines
across the cynical sky.
For I’ve tasted dewdrops
from the darkest dusk,
and I’ve felt the citrine citrus
of the rising dawn,
embracing the shapeshifting ambiance
of the capricious constellations and beyond.
I was once engrossed
and hypnotized by
twisted engravings
carved upon broken pillars,
wandering within the hieroglyphics
of Cleopatra’s silk,
oblivious to the purging strings,
threading purified emeralds.
Yet, I know I belong
to the galactic gates,
built with spiritual strides,
anchored in ancient truth~
standing firm
like amber pyramids,
where eagles soar and glide
above the mundane mirrors,
unveiling the materialistic
manuscripts etched across
superficial spheres.
Perhaps it is the thorns
of a throne dusted with
deceptive diamond dialects,
that manipulated my silhouette
to trace and follow forged footprints~
across the bruised battlefield,
rinsed with bleeding lies.
Or could it be the raven feathers
and their effervescent essence
that pushed me into
an abyss filled with
poisoned peridots
and cryptic sorcery?
But were I not a flawed flower,
clutching stained petals,
while the soil reeks
of unfiltered ruins,
emanating falsified fragments
of a soul awaiting divine awakening?
Tonight, I’ll allow my third eye
to roam through celestial halls,
entwined with baptized bougainvilleas,
letting the breeze steer
me to a sanctified sanctuary
of rejuvenating roses.
There I’ll sprout like a lotus,
floating through the amethyst air,
illuminating the eclipsed moon-meadows
with hope and harmony.
For I’ve found flickering jewels,
through hazy clouds of confusion,
cleansing my chakra
with subtle strokes
of butterfly blissfulness,
infused with lemongrass love
and hyacinth healing.
This is the weaving of
an enlightened voice,
igniting inner golden
flames of faith,
with verses streaming
in sacred symphony,
to home the halcyon haven
of crystalline consciousness.
As I now ascend like an
untamable phoenix of the sea,
transforming tainted turquoise into
a rivulet rippling with
transcendental teal
and intuitive topaz,
listening to the
heartbeats of the Almighty,
seeking divinity through
the serenity of silence
and the holistic hymns of patience.
