Ethereal Horizons
SECLUSION Where the past lies in silence No memory No voice My shadows slowly freeze Beneath star that shines without warmth The void Terrifying Majestic The void It speaks to those who choose to listen And teaches those who choose to hear. Solitude Disorientation Learning to walk without hope To move forward by no longer seeking “You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star.” (Fredrich Nietzsche)

THE ORDEAL At the heart of fire, transformation Pain illuminates Pain guides And the heart beats… differently The flame shapes without hatred A new awareness Intimate with the divine Refuge Ordeal Initiation The formless being refines in the furnace Incandescence as the cradle of rebirth “In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.” (Albert Camus)

THE FALL OPENS THE SKY A rift in the sky The fracture opens As reality slowly tears apart What once seemed darkness welcomes light The world loses itself in its own reflection In silence, the call urges crossing This void that triumphs over fear Ascension To rise – like falling into the essential Surrender Liberation To be no more “The wound is the place where the light enters you.” (Rumi)

WHAT BURNS NOW LISTENS After the light, silence reigns Absence welcomes presence Thought dissolves into mist Silence Wordless What remains after the fall No voice No sound Only peace Eash second builds a world And silence heals what fire once wounded The wind ceases to resist The stillness where all may finally be born Becomes truth “Silence is the language of god, all else is poor translation.” (Rumi)

(<em>Instrumental</em>) TWIN SUNS REVERIE Two suns above the dunes This warmth that cradles The desert as mirage Offering light, shadow and breath Two suns that shape the distant horizons Plenitude The past is no more, the future will never be Nothing to change Nothing to await Nothing to reach “With the sun and moon in the sky, I do not mourn what is lost. I only watch what is.” (Lao Tseu)

THE END BECOMES GRACE A sea of stars and silence Liquid flesh The ego has fallen silent The name is no more A vast and boundless cosmic ocean. Where galaxies drown All is connected, all is fluid Together as one, at the end Of a journey that traces a circle through the heart of the universe Not a n end, but a return… Life and void breathe as one Here, eternity abides “We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” (Pierre Teilhard De Chardin)
