Elements


The moon shines down upon your body

floating in a sea free of form.

The sky is clear, as is your mind

in a worlde so newly born.


With limbs out-s t r e t c h e d

reaching into Infinity,

the mind turned inwards upon itself,

you float the endless Sea of Peripity

rising with each thought as a swell.


And unknown leagues beneath you

The Earthe cracks a smile

Its laughter is lava from earthe so new...

the Ocean is beguiled.


The Earthe sputters.

The Ocean mutters,

as if in reply,

"If the mind is cluttered,

the voice can only stutter

the Soul's primal cry."


IN EFFERVESCENT FURY!!

Water boils from cooling liquid fire

spheres of oxygen hurry

in advent of this hidden spyre.


Now sound is heard for the first time

as a stacatto static all about you


...limitless spheres burst into eternity


while you are lifted, as by a hand divine,

into a consciousness so very new.

Rising amidst foam - from the Sea of Peripity

towards the light of the distant moon.
