Beyond The Sun
Fear not the clueless message
That seeks to penetrate
The cave-like walls of this, our carved dimension
Strange energy that flays our fields
With geometric thought
And salutation.
Pythagorean ritual
Nags our conscious minds
Longing, yea demanding to be heard,
Pulling our gazes starward
With burgeoning expectation.
Of revelation.
The resonating throb of ancient oneness
Calls us to behold
The thing our earthbound eyes
Have yet to know,
We stretch to learn the language of cognition.
To bridge the roar.
Lie down upon the grass and feel the splendor
Of worlds beyond the globe which is our pod
Of innocence,
Knowing the day is near to cast asunder
Our conjured images of what and when,
Knowing deeply we are not alone.
The rush of cosmic winds becomes
A deep harmonic hum,
Energy moving swiftly from its source,
That from this womb of wonder we may rise
To be the song that sings
Beyond the sun.
