Refining Consciousness

“instrumentalising mind, I rested thought employing it only when needed shifting to heart, I became self-taught gentling touch, voice of conscience heeded” ~ Unseeking Seeker
When thoughts purge in restlessness, we pause the frequency of the mind, allowing the rhapsodies of the rosemary heart to compose lyrics of life in sync with sandalwood serenity… I am a gossamer ribbon, drifting across caliginous cloudscapes, like a delicate trace of greying gloaming, listening to the eerie requiems ricocheting through the horizon. But am I to follow the hypnotic lies, perpetually prompting my thoughts to ink crimson confetti of confusion? For the heart is the window to the crown chakra, awaiting the alignment of seven stars, where the mind remains a mystery, unreliable and capricious, like the wind carrying the sound of raging rain tonight. O celestial maestro of the cosmos and beyond, let fears dissolve into ambient waves, rippling with rejuvenating radiance, reflecting seraphic light from the crooning currents beneath~ tempestuous tides, while I unchain the confined chambers of my persona, to unravel the alchemist within, that knows not the dying colors of dusk and dawn, and reveals emerald auroras in hibiscus harmony, amidst the moonless serenades of the sky~ in sync with my stained consciousness. So let the dancing dreams and the divine spirit manifest through bleeding intuition, as I open my arms to the sun singing within his euphoric siesta, there lakes of lotus ebb and flow in ethereal themes, transforming jinxed juniper lilies into joyous jasmines, and my voice shall mirror pristine peonies, scented with mystical musk, where the fickleness of existence is liquidated with lavender scriptures, for my heart is the empyrean haven for northern gems, guiding the glass kayak of survival, refusing darkness to mask the kundalini mantras within the alluring aura of life, rehearsing self-fulfilling prophecies, to illuminate silhouettes of the galaxies in crystalline clarity.

IE, your words seem therapeutic and wonderful. We have so many thoughts and choices to consider, and the world offers so many different stimuli. I really like how you pick out and express the best things out here. Smiles!

This poem is so heavenly. I love the metaphors and gradual movement of this lovely piece. From darkness to light and peace. A manifestation of dreams and the mind regardless of its fluctuating nature. The universe guides us into making decisions, taking steps and highlighting our emotions or controlling our feelings. "For the heart is the window to the crown chakra, awaiting the alignment of seven stars" some powerful words there dear Inky. Best wishes for the contest, this is great.

Those first five lines so brilliant. They really set the tone. I would be really surprised if this did not appear on the winner list

Dear Empress, from where do all these metaphors flow... I keep wondering! Some alliterative expressions of yours are stunning I must say...like, "transforming jinxed juniper lilies into joyous jasmines", "dying colors of dusk and dawn," "crimson confetti of confusion" "rhapsodies of the rosemary heart" and many more. When we open our arms to the Celestial maestro for guidance and put our thoughts to rest, our consciousness will be renewed and 'rejuvenating radiance, reflecting seraphic light will spread'. I am in perpetual awe of your poetic prowess. Into my FAVE.

I loved the last verse especially, and expressions such as 'dancing dreams,' 'euphoric siesta,' 'pristine peonies,' and 'glass kayak of survival.' So beautiful and deep, Ink.

Creative lines penned. I would not want to be in that glass kayak though. That would be a suicide mission. Thanks for sharing this one and for my name being on your winners' list. Sara K

Intuition, a deeper form of consciousness, asks questions in this poem. I liked the mystery in this poem.
