Rediscovered
I kissed the frozen lips of death
The icy touch jolted me into consciousness.
I burnt in the fire of passion
The embers of desire scalded my body.
I eluded pain and I scampered away from sorrow
The pleasures and the euphoria led me to doom.
I persistently escaped from my solitude
The echo of the masses made me crave for peace.
I raised my voice to the Gods in song and praise
The Devil conspired and stole the music and the words.
I abided by rituals and set ablaze a ceremonious fire
The ashes from the inferno smudged the line of fate.
I burnt candles at the altar and incense at the tomb.
The smoke rose up to the firmament and veiled the sun.
I consulted the stars before laying the foundation
A meteoric shower burnt a hole in the roof of my abode.
I sought sanctuary in the books of the wise
The ignorance of the mind exposed me to the absurd.
I sang a lullaby and put the child to sleep
The cacophony of the vultures broke the slumber of the dead.
I unlocked the secrets that lay beyond
The doubt and the distrust restrained me in caverns dark.
I cremated the body and I let the soul fly high
The ghosts of the past haunted me to a life after death.
I journeyed the desert to reach the ocean
The mirage drowned me in the waters of illusion.
I reveled in power and I fanned my ambitions
The maggots stealthily destroyed my treasure horde
I ransacked the earth and I ripped apart the heavens
The vanquished held me captive and burnt me at the stake.
I wailed in despair and I babbled like a lunatic
The Masters led me away and told me to relinquish.
I sat then in contemplation and heard the sounds within
The Universe lay converged in every beat of my heart.
I opened the inner eye and I saw the vision crystal clear
The Light from beyond the darkness beckoned me therein.

September 18th, 2008 at 12:07 pm[...] My quest had taught me as much, and I had learnt to deal rightly with my existence on earth and I was prepared for an existence beyond. My hell and my heaven are in this life, not after life. Over the eons, across seas and beyond mountains, passing over plains and wandering over deserts, the little ray of my life, the microcosm within me, will learn to soar high, to spread its wings and prepare for the final journey, into the great mass of light, energy, knowledge and wisdom. The journey is on earth, in this life, maybe the next; the destination is on earth, well within my reach, but beyond the fetters of life and death, beyond goodness and beyond evil, beyond ideals and an ideology. My way of life is my religion; I am my own God and my own Worshipper. I am my own Seeker and the path leads me into the Light of Eternity. [...]
