one in essence

aeons of time

blissfully we flew

in perfect union through space

 

then one day

when planets were born

one was split in two

 

the wheel of material

creation and recreation

turned in its own agenda

 

the memory

as alive as on the first day

the separation happened

 

in endless cycles of life

we took part

fulfilling our duty

 

out of our own volition

we gave love and knowledge

to the hungry and thirsty

 

sometimes we met

sometimes not

always longing for each other

 

brother and sister

on the sacred islands

holding each other so dear

 

king and priest

in the land of the double crown

trying to keep the flame alive

 

initiate and initiator

in the sacred arts

of the far east

  

a blue sheet of flowers

in an imprisoned city

stolen moments shortlived this time

 

young boy and wise woman

with bronze coloured skins

she left too early for him

 

ecstatic moments

in other spheres

flying high up into the skies

 

 

 

swirling and whirling

and dancing around

happy free spirits without a doubt

 

fire shaped another time

burning lips meet glowing

above the goddesses volcano.

 

waterfalls and island winds

friends and graceful messengers

from one to one in essence

 

heavenly rain

is well received

by mother earth

 

patiently waiting

for her lovers kiss

in stillness

 

sitting by the waterfall

one pondered

an ancient voice called

 

sweet heart

fame couldn’t comfort

the longing

 

 

 

looking in vain

for the flower

on the seven pearls of the sea

 

going up to the mountains

to appease the yearning

and create

 

singing songs

sharing the delicate fragrance

as a tribute to love

 

in scarce precious moments

a gaze into darkness turns into light

near the window in the middle of the night

 

waves roll on to the shore

an endless blink of one’s eyes

is treasured thoughtfully

 

vibrations travel far

the silent song

was heard

 

one made the journey

to follow the call

dreaming it all

 

 

 

being guided

on an invisible path

towards the sound of silence

 

listening to the chants

in the sacred valley

of voices long gone

 

flying over the holy volcano

gazing at another pearl

violated by strangers

 

nearly fainting

at the doors

of the white house in splendour

 

mind knows nothing yet

spirit is ever so patient

consciousness awaits the awakening

 

happy reconnection

with friends on the way

in shyness and delight

 

one met one

the first time

just confused

 

 

 

then coming home

to the family -

love is a circle of light

 

divine ecstasy

in the reunion of souls

but still something is missing

 

mind is not ready yet

to fully give in

to the change of course

 

one pure dream

two became one again

in utmost beauty

 

eight seasons passed

the gentle winds

sang gentle songs

 

in one eternal moment

essence met essence

descent took place

 

one heart stood still

shedding tears

in shock of reconnaissance

 

 

 

waves of sunrise

move in slow motion

seen by two in one

 

peaceful delight

followed by

torrents of reasoning

 

rays of light

from shimmering jade

open wounds of separation

 

there are myriads of ways

not to be explained

in the secrets and mystery of life.
