Enlightenment flowers

Lorenz

'' I fell asleep while awake 

and I conversed with  the gods

who are these creations of myself ! ''

  Be born .

  Suffer .

  Die .

And come back again 

in the circle of this burlesque tragedy .

 Prince .

Warrior .

Jester .

Or poet ,

who waters 

the flowers of the ephemeral .

Desire and thirst for life .

The Moira is waiting 

 for the engagement...

Nothing belongs to us .

Everything is ours .

Monk of the absolute ,

friar of the doubt ,

gospel of impermanence ,

  the apostel ...

The chessboard Buddhas ,

as the hour of time,strikes,

 infinite compassion .

On chaotic altars ,

dance grimacing deities,

 the devotees...

Worship ,

shipwreck ,

destructive vertigo ,

universal illusion ,the game...

Nectar of immorality 

and immortality ,

to the woman's lips ,

hanging shreds  of flesh

given birth to ...

 Immolation ,

state of possession .

'' People say I'm a tomb .

I'm your mother ! ''

Unspeakable pain !

Unfathomable softness ...

Be reborn .

 Healed .

Put on clothes .

Here I am ,holy fool

in this cave ,

the obscure enlightenment...

  • sorenbarrett

    This poem takes several turns and ends abruptly in obscure enlightenment. Well done

    • Lorenz

      A brief illumination that returns to its starting point in this idea associated with a circle (That is meant to be cycle) .

      • sorenbarrett

        Ah yes everything is a circle in the end.

      • Priya Tomar

        We are in endless cycle of birth and death.
        Wonderful creation ! Magnum opus !
        The image is evocative....
        Nothing belong to us, everything is ours .... wow !!!

        • Lorenz

          Mystic of the shadow that does not betray the flesh .
          Song of wisdom that doesn't glorify the human condition.

        • Ellen Marsell

          It is a kind of mystical diary of humanity. Within it resonate archetypes, religions, and philosophies, yet everything converges into one: life is a game, and only by accepting it as such do we attain that ‘dark clarity’ which you call enlightenment.

          • Lorenz

            Black and white sources mixing their waters in the delta of enlightenment .
