The Platan

 Almighty gardian of Infinity,
you have rooted me in the reality of worlds;
connected with the Earth, I am outreaching towards the heavens,
with my arms outstretched to Entirety;
touching my dreams,
I evanesce into thaumaturgic dimensions.

Wayfeeling

As I traipse through the landscape of the Uknown,
feeling my way, not knowing where to go,
I am weighing my steps with care,
shivering with disquiet.

Whoever, whatever it is that is blocking my path,
there is a sense of cold, a sense of warmth;
contours are vanishing, noisy echoes filling the space.

I have been surrounded
by the expanse of Endlessness,
an expanse unbounded.

Fleeing is a touch;
my body has gone missing
and my soul has merged with Immensity.

This Naked Lullaby

Aerated by a loving breath I am,–
feeling my soles rested upon a cushiony moss,
my soma afloat in a void,
a caressing, slightly cooling touch.

In your palms' bassinet my skin is being laid;
enclasped in safety I wish to dwell,
deliquesce in Immensity,
forever feeling Acceptance.

My heart
with melody resounds,
my soul
with peace is inspired.

Swaying
is
this naked lullaby.

Constant

 Home is found

where my heart pounds;

and all that's settled in my bosom

is at home.

💓

Albeit in an altered attire,

even with a change of scenery,

or if the sea of time passes by,

the same heart throbs at the core.

💓

The eternal essence in a changeable form,

wine will be wine,

be it in this or that flagon,

retaining its sweetness.

Amber Butterfly

 I'm not a butterfly emerged from its chrysalis,

but a Monarch ensnared in amber resin;

a butterfly that's to have spread its wings,

risen up to the welkin longingly,

but got lodged in a golden dream.

🌞

Laid to rest eternally in a warming womb,

it tastes like honey, soft to touch it is,

turned to tinder by a spark easily,

eternalized in its beauty,

with its wings concealed.

🌞

Captive to amber,

like a stone within a stone,

in a motionless slumber

lies a tiny butterflied form,

its spirit

permeated by eternity,

dwelling in luminosity.

🌞

A flutter of butterfly wings

in flickering flashes of light

through the smoothness of glassy facets

is seen by the one

who's a fate-stricken star-gazer

with metamorphic visions.

🌞
