The dial falls away — out of sight out of mind
Looking down to find it, all that can be seen is a roaring light that stretches across the floor
Shadows dance in the distance as it churns and froths to a tune beyond tempo
Where am I?
Light and dark dissolve into each other, casting the surroundings into caricatures impossible to identify
Failure to know the where
What is this?
Whatness, the act of being
A state that transcends instance
Light, shadow
and heat beyond measure
Heat? I feel fine. How . . . ?
It is acceptable to not know
In being, one knows all that is needed
Being . . .
Radiance through one’s nature
Without reservation. Hesitation. Cognition, even
How can I be if I don’t know . . . ?
Water flows in all its forms whether it wets the ground, sky or one’s mouth
Wind blows around this world and shapes the skies
without a clue as to why
Fire glows, bringing light and shifting the elements
delivering warmth
and change
Change . . .
To be the flame
a harbinger of truth
a conduit for light to shine at full strength
a weapon that will forge the face of Aunios
It frightens me.
Fear is the entrance to the unknown
the kindling, the introduction
to more of oneself
light will always intrigue fear
an attraction, a dance that defies timelines
Those who shine brightest draw in the new
be it friendly or fiendish
To burn, is to brew
to create. Foster. Cleanse
and kill
all at once
I don’t want to kill.
Kill without killing
Determine, without decimating
Clear, without causing catastrophe
Be the flame that can be directed
A disciplined light
is the light that will
pierce the veil
It can be controlled . . . ?
Existence
is an instance of control
a binding of energies, dimensions, emotions and
so much more
a contained fire is a sustained fire
a sustained fire
can purge
the curses that plague cosmos
A diligent and steady burn
upends a thousand years
of tyranny absolute
a single singe
prefaces a world
of one’s preference
I am . . .
This, and that
Here, and not-here
That which one desires and one fears
The entrance, and the exit
Within Paradox lies
the greatest power
Become that, which
threatens to undo you
— and transcend both
