kernels of the past spread on the floor
I slowly picked them up in reminiscence
that smell was never righteous, but it was pleasing
at least for some times, when things felt right
I can't remember how I forgot
who I was or where I came from
spilled years spent wearisome and angsty to get
more ore
more...
now.
here, the bossa nova plays and the elliptic choir sings along
rapid-paced city walks meaning knots
dreaming to never get lost
fireworks up, and when finished
lost again
nothing fancy to see here, carry on
tarry, tarry, little one
I've felt high and I've felt strung
but somehow...
somehow I've felt something longing
like gazing from a windowsill
afar in a distilled wonderland
where I had once decided to come for something
but what was it?
I must've forgot...
so I roamed and I roamed
and slowly
I started humming ŌMs, quietly
very quietly, at first
until came demeanour
like a fine jazz solo
chaotic
& yet
perfectly paced
I started to juggle words with haste
my cleft hubris solemnly swore
to both the moon and the stars
never to feel shattered again
for I had encountered the vessel to my youth
& inveigled its tangy spores to burst;
put the hearse in reverse and go back to square One
where All meet
before prophets are made righteous
before cowards are made wily
the place where the zenith is still
and the Divine Spark is quilled;
this lofty gleaming venue surrounded by all nowheres
where Man and Pleiades are made
circles, squares & triangles gathering in holy assembly
to craft the mighty "i"
a mere reflection of the Mighty "I"
adjoining forces at once to push forth the will-fused alliance
that creates;
that emanates within its plane all of its light body's intent
an intent that ultimately is the same for All
videlicet
to get back
in perfect alliance
with the All
& thus
I remembered where I came from
I was always aware.
