Mitigate the slicing Life

Betwixt the sides of two extremes 

Supreme and heavy lies the Burden

 

Immobilised, decoding dreams 

Thirsting for wisdom

Thirsting to see and trace, the carvings 

upon the future membrane of the Soul

 

Aim the Arrow

Bend the Bow

 

Pull the heart-strings ever harder

Until serene, sublime ascends the Woe

Stretch the mind-maps ever farther

Until they swallow-generate new Worlds

as Above and so Bellow…

In a Holy-Unholy flow

 

And those that told you 

there’ll be no one to hold you

through your darkest growing pains

through your shedding and contractions

They drove spikes in your way…

But remember:

They are beggars of decay

and wilfully blindfolded they feed

upon the fearsome doubt they sow

         - do not take heed… reject their Seed

 

You alone and only know

you alone and only walk 

the Labyrinth of your Creation….

         Its walls a mirror to the Outside

         Its floors and ceilings, portals spiralling Inside

Following the thread laid down

Through the endless layering of Histories

made of dust and bones

made of word and feeling  

made of spells and wishes 

made of secrets and kisses

made of songs and screams

made of blood and blisters

broken nails and teeth

jagged scars and markings

on earth and skin… 

 

Transmute the Dream

Learning the language of the Void, untangling 

the twisting codexes of Fate

In finding the insolence to ask 

from your deepest Longing,

 

You might just one day come to find 

Belonging:

Beyond the Other side of Self…

The arms and breath to hold you

Unfold you 

Into a multitude of beings once only imagined within…

Now exploding outward

Into an infinity of fractal patterns

Generative and sublime

 

Having dissolved the boundary 

Having included the Other..

 

Ever deeper 

ever more,

than the sum of our parts could hold

We become

 

A dynamo of alchemical binding…
