In the deluge of the surging river of life
my senses sink in the secret depth undefined,
flood me with the engulfing cacophony of strife,
as the remains of unique essence I strive to find.
I search for me in the realm of disharmony
to hear the sensual song of covert consciousness
resonate in the disguised solitude of frozen agony
within the self-explored niche of my soul’s recess.
In the live network of intricate design,
layer on layer my lonesome mind is stratified.
The strata of the instinctive awareness then align,
as the unique personal patterns are slyly unified.
Many attributes of sole distinction gain
access to the fold of furtive psychic identity,
transcend the uncertain limits of joy and pain,
stimulate the senses to become perceptive sanctity.
I reach within as reflective explorer’s entity,
discern the enlightened soul in the bay of bliss,
suffusing me with supreme quintessence of divinity,
I get liberated from the deplorable depth of dark abyss.
That’s the persona I secretly foster, people don’t see
behind the superficial screen of singularity where I am me.
Soaring storm seethes in the seamless sky
Tracks tormenting terror in anguished air
The stratified wind doesn’t understand why
The abrasive turbulence it should share.
Afflicting anger flares in the spiteful mind
Smolders the sullen life’s cinders to bear
The ashes of angst fly far failing to find
The rationale why empathy doesn’t care.
Heaving haze holds the humid horizon won
Spreads the shroud of gripping gloom severe
Clumps of clouds drift away from the spent sun
Hoping from the dark a bright day would appear.
Seething sorrow simmers in the marooned mind
Permeates pain in life drowned deep in despair
Serene soul blooms bliss to dispel agony unkind
Fecund hope seeds happiness in dry drops of tear.

In the imagery network of intricate design,
layer on layer, the metaphoric mind is stratified,
the levels of innate awareness are aligned
with the unique perspective patterns unified.
Many elements of the singular identity secures
access to the secret sanctum of psychic recess,
transcend the timeless thresholds of joy and pain,
as senses merge with the supreme consciousness.
My metamorphosed mind turns into an inventor,
makes a mirror with the luster of mirage for me.
I look into it reaching the self-aggrandized oasis,
where it is only me as Narcissus I always see.
The blow of tormenting time breaks the mirror,
my ethereal essence transforms it into a window.
I see the twilight gleam shimmer in the horizon,
beckons me to start a new journey before sundown.
I travel within as an introspective probing voyager,
perceive the eternal soul in the alcove of bliss,
suffusing me with the absolute aura of divinity,
I get liberated from the hold of mortal abyss.

A cosmic event, singular and grandiose,
the Big Bang blast of the prime particle, the condensed light,
created mass in an instant that accreted by the nascent gravity
in the nebulous galaxies and in the flaming stars
of the archaic universe, expanding.
They all contain the history of time
not yet burnt nor consumed by the black holes.
They wrap the primordial light of the cosmos,
not yet dimmed nor dead in the dwarf stars.
Within the sphere of gravity of the stars
they build with the planets their empire in space,
each evolving their planetary structure.
Their destiny controlled by the stars’ energy
decides their future in the cosmos,
if they’d be in orbit or drift away in deep space,
decides if in them life would ever be seeded
to germinate or destroyed by the hostile celestial events.
In the heliocentric planetary system
the sun, our star, still blazing in primeval pride
made for us the blue planet, the unique earth,
in the limitless space a tiny speck of stratified rocks
where life appeared and evolved in diverse forms,
not yet thwarted nor reached their terminal time,
where man emerged as the species of selection,
not yet sure of the future, secured or face annihilation,
but when the sun rises and the horizon gleams in color
the pristine nature on earth comes to life in the present.
The cosmic design of the stars near and far
defines the astronomic architecture of the zodiac.
The night sky displays the harmony of the primordial pattern,
transmitted to everything that exists on earth,
decides their fate in some astral way,
not yet understood nor discarded as unsound.
Life may or may not follow the unperceivable dictate of astrology,
the stars will appear in the sky at their will,
take us to their world of fantasy on space odyssey.
As our crimson star sets behind the grey of the dusk
the night falls opening the darkened sky.
The stars of constellations open their eyes one by one
twinkling in blue glow that travelled for many light years,
an adornment of the night’s flushing firmament,
not yet stolen nor abandoned in the outer space.
The sprinkle of stardust sparkles in lovers’ hearts,
not yet deserted nor broken in shards.

Atmosphere stratified over billions of years
Envelopes the Earth with protective layers
Saves the life from damaging solar radiation
Controls the climate and its spatial variation
Burns meteorites or asteroids on their course
So the Earth doesn’t become another Mars.
Mountain peaks pierce invisible atmosphere
Air pressure becomes less and less up there
Clouds surge sink slow in low-pressure trough
Descend as rain and snow with winds rough
The air becomes thin with oxygen depletion
Climber’s heart struggles albeit in jubilation.
Let life lying low become the mountain high
Rise over dreary atmosphere to touch the sky
Reach the stratum where the pressure is low
You will unburden life leaving the load below
Ecstasy clouds would enter mind at elevation
Melt in your heart as rain of blissful exaltation.

The sands of entropy the wheel of chaotic time churns,
settle on the stratified shelf of the disorganized life.
In moments moving with the dispersed dust of perturbation,
the truth of trust oscillates on the ruffled ripples of disorder.
In the bewildered efflux of errant disarray,
everything rumpled changes, except for change.
The mystifying alchemy of metamorphosis
reveals the real façade of perplexing transformation.
In the disorderly squall of divesting dismay
my mind is disheveled to a dishabille state,
splinters the leitmotif of the embedded emotions,
confounded cascade of consternation carries them away.
Yet, when my castle of sand on the shore of yearning
tumbles down in a clutter of scattered debris,
in its disorientation I discover the dormant flute of feelings,
play the tune of ecstasy with the music of memory.
In the network of intricate design,
layer on layer, mind is stratified,
the strata of all diverse hues align,
unique psychic patterns are unified.
Many aspects of sole distinction hide
within the fold of the mind’s secret layers,
can’t be deciphered by the world outside,
the reticent sense of self never cares.
An insular captive of my making,
I‘m me, an individual loner,
in my lane I see the aliens walking,
I am defined by my essence owner.
That’s an entity of me people see,
so different from the rest for I’m me.

For Brian Strand Contest A Strand (1073)
River runs in the incised rocky terrain
Boat plunges in a propelling whirlpool
Gyrating agony of attrition perpetuates
Time to get winsome winds of solace
On the battered sail.
Winter mist wraps the wilted horizon
Shrouded sun deludes the dreaming dawn
Sanctum of stratified gloom freezes within
Time to paint the patina of joy
On the petals of hope.
Sky crumbles into the sands of time
Hued rapture of rainbow melts away
I sink in the sea of boundless bliss within
Enlightened I find the oneness illumined
Between Him and me.

In the live network of intricate unassailable design,
layer on layer, the latticed mind is stratified,
the spiritual strata of the innate awareness align,
unique sagacious patterns of perception are unified.
Many existential attributes of sole distinction gain
access to the sanctum of the secret psychic recess,
transcend undefined the fading limits of joy and pain,
as fluid sense merge with the sea of absolute consciousness.
In my journey within as an introspective explorer,
I discern the enlightened soul in the sanctuary of bliss,
suffusing me with the supreme essence of divinity,
I get liberated from the dungeon of the corporeal abyss.
I am then the immutable hymn of the sanctified soul,
echoing through the melodic strata of consciousness.
The devout mantra intoned in the temple of the heart,
resonates with the symphony of the sacred spirit.
I am the shared essence of the connected oneness,
transcending the self-seeking perimeter of individuality.
The cosmic creator of the resounding silence of eternity
makes my awakened soul proclaim the divine decree I am He.
Line of inquiry:
“Neither desire nor aversion
Meditation our immersion
Conditioned beliefs discarded
Hymns we hum are our own version”
In the live network of unassailable design,
layer on layer my latticed mind is stratified.
The spiritual strata of innate awareness aligns
with the sagacious patterns of perception.
In my introspective journey within
my soul confined within the meditation crypt,
suffuses me with the supreme essence of piety,
liberates me from the dungeon of corporeal abyss,
taking me away from the unsure domain of conviction
in search of the divine light.
Many existential attributes of sole distinction
gain access to the sanctum of the psychic recess,
transcend through the undefined time
the fading limits of desire and aversion,
while the fluid sense of conditioned beliefs
flows abandoned from the cauldron of mindfulness,
merges with the sea of absolute consciousness.
I then hum the immutable hymn
of my sanctified soul,
that echoes in the melodic strata
of the harmonic awareness.
The devout mantra intoned
in the temple of my heart
resonates with the sublime symphony
of the sacred spirit in the realm of divinity.
