Pain's Intentional Dance

Navigating this mysterious landscape

Pain fuels my intentions which delightfully dance

Flirting with pathways my intellect seeks a quick escape

Echoes of a narrative I once spoke beneath a moon, a chance…

The depths of my experiences was too deep for my mind to grasp

Following the snap I embraced the Phoenix of my liberty

This body holds no more surprises I cannot mend with remedies in a flask

Emotions are fires which serve the greater good when in poverty

Aches and pains wake my brain with jabbing signals ceaselessly profound

In spirit form these feelings are alien and yet perversely I crave the experience

Incarnation taught me to be weary of the long list I signed up for, dumbfound

Now the ship is sailing through unchartered realms I am left in a trance

Waves of shock permeate this collective realm with bees buzzing 

A voice sings clearly, beautifully, from an underground subway

Trees remember as plants and rocks contain memory, a scorpion sting

I once knew your name, it flees my grasp as I relay this essay

Portals are gateways to alternate dimensions which are innumerable 

Summoned into its original state, the quantum realm follows a few simple rules

Ideas drift into action, sometimes whilst dreams are immeasurable 

I watch and listen to a person playing a saxophone, soulful blues

Alone I gaze into the night, not afraid of the shadow, as once I was along time ago

Liberated I stage an epiphany of praise to the praying mantis 

Serenity is not to be sought or chased, rather embraced with breath, nice and slow

Surreal this night unfolds into morn with blazing sunlight kiss

I understand more than I did before, as I explore, I remember less

Cacophony of voices remember my embrace as we witness this ecstatic embrace

Choose the path best suited for you, judge not others, rather bless

Endless choice leave a scattered mind in tatters, dance with lace

What is the last breath if not a final bow to a life of epic proportions, lived mindfully

Herbs and crystals carry memories, in so doing they teach mortals through ages

I remember the first ripple from nothingness, it was the birth of The Mother mysteriously

I write not for mine own enjoyment, but, also to tease your mind to attend your own pages

Explosion after explosion as night becomes day, the Fae foretold this moment 

Alignments dance both within and in the cosmic heavens above in grace

I surrender to the crickets as they summon the night into a long postponement 

Wandering about one displaces a thought, yet embraces another as if choosing a new face

A jolly dance shared with so many strangers in masks, feeling their souls fire tempered as with glass

Lightning bolt of fierce enlightenment transformed the sands of their previous civilizations, alchemising

Lights illuminate the heavens not just in daylight, now at night, unholy fires which obliterate class

One person's attachment is another's liberation from a cosmic realm based in matter, listen to them sing

I fold these wings over my body, embracing the camouflage which protects the words which escape

Painful memories of our eager fall when humans remembered to call, what was that mountain range called

Forget I do of present indulge as I flit into realms with inner gaze, the noble one remembers to gape

Alas this night has drawn the curtain, no longer summoned, I rest my pen, harnessing my mind impaled
