Knowledge Is a Genie Once Let Out of the Bottle It Cant Be Put Back
1
Profound insight climbing the mountain
The higher you go the more beautiful view
Opens up wide spread in front of you
You see the world under your feet
Overwhelmingly liberating experience
Shocking overpowering, and scary
You play walking on the sling blade
The line that only God can balance
Once you take a close piercing glance
Into the depth of the center of the universe
And the hidden secrets of the living earth
It gets you and suspends you in vacuum
In the crack between realities that no longer
Is a safe haven where it used to belong
And is not yet fully on the other side
Of God’s omnipotent limitless domain
Only a few bold dare to push the limits
Fearlessly to the very edge of the cliff
Opening the view of bottomless abyss
There is no way back from the sharp edge
It is a one-way ticket secret knowledge
Into unknown and there is no turning back
You are bewildered and only can stare
Helpless onlooker lonely and scared
No matter how baffling the truth is
You have no choice but to face it
Like a lonely prisoner in Plato’s cave
Chained and starring at the other side
Cast out of cozy safety of ignorance
Stuck in between worlds upside down
In a circle that never stops spinning around
Circle is a shape of infinite shapes
With you uncomfortably stuck inside

The string orchestra of the universe
Playing symphony of those remote days
When endless galactic suspended in infinity
Let out of the bottle cosmic creative genie
And the world started vibrating in unison
Spinning boundless eternity new born
In beautiful curves waves and forms
Reflecting its’ suspenseful elegant flight
In the matte darkness of primal night
The mystery of eternal law of motion
Forces trajectories shapes, and forms
Converge in the mind of creator god
If you extend the edge of infinity
You reach another bigger infinity
And so forever the world expands
In a whole new infinity that stands
Like a pillar holding the very edge
Of spinning around infinite universe

Below the veil of reality there is
Another world of ethereal matrix
Of pure ever-present mathematics
An ocean of dancing numbers
Sparkly little precious shiny jewels
Woven in a colorful fabric of cosmos
Creating amazingly beautiful patterns
Filled with secret signs and omens
Accentuated by elegant curves
Of flying at the speed of light
Myriad of bent shiny sun rays
Arched into the snake of genetics
That keeps the secret of life
Locked deep in the pattern
Of frenetic spinning cosmic dance
Shining through the porous surface
Of blue atmosphere of the earth
Moving in swift powerful ways
Delivering suspenseful delays
Of disbelief and shocking awe
Bending the time and space
In strange unfathomable ways
The dancing numbers are holding
Together the world expanding forever
And we are little colorful scattered dots
That are aimlessly hopelessly lost
In our desire to understand the way
The incomprehensible world spins away
Which is always bigger than we can grasp
The world of matrix spread in front of us
All the time but its' meaning
Deeply masterfully hidden
Beyond sheer fabric of cosmic Maya
Seductively alluring our desire
And forcing us to get lost
In endless perpetual earthly lust

Infinity is spread all over the space
But we don’t see it’s elusive face
Covered with thin veil of illusion
Of starry sky and blooming flowers
Intoxicating scents of morning showers
We are stuck in the world of delusions
And non-ending painful exclusions
From attempts to touch the true face
Of reality hidden deep in the shell
Of primal knowledge bottomless well
We dream about it every night
Trying to catch the elusive edge
Of Ariadne’s magical invisible thread
That will lead us back to the earth
But with the dawn opening eyes
After pitch darkness of night
The fine line that we finally reached
In the dream slowly dissipates
And we start search all over again
Lost in terminal inability to understand
Caught up in zest of seeking feverishly
To catch the ever escaping edge
Of desired elusive knowledge
Like uncanny mandala of a snake
Lustfully devouring its own tail
Is an image of the unfortunate fate
epilog
When in the thick darkness of night
We look deep into the well
Of the desired forever hidden
Secretive world of forbidden
Dangerous alluring knowledge
We open the doors and get drunk
With the passion of gnostic desire
To get a glimpse beyond Maya
At the bottomless cognition
Of the promised land
