Astral Dance: Tango of the Superlative Mind


Her superlative mind
leavens the loaf of
materialism,

her bashful beauty,
powder of eternal
optimism.

The principle of
correspondence
as opposed to
despondence,

as above, so below,
as below, so above,
an admirer's love,

Polarity,
everything is dual,
everything has a
pair of opposites,
like and unlike
the same,
like her name,
opposites identical
in nature, different in
degree.

Rhythm,
everything flows,
out, in,
coursing through
the labyrinth,
imbibing absinthe,
enlightened with
the tides,
rise and fall,

Mentalism,
All is mind,
Universal Mental,
keep alive the
sacred flame of
the Hermetic
philosopher.

Gender,
is in all,
bender too,
all has
feminine,
masculine
principles

Cause and Effect,
every Cause has effect,
every Effect has cause,
Perfect tango, cause for
applause,
everything happens
according to
Law.

Time to re-light
lesser lamps of
the outside,
when light of truth
grows dim,
out there on the
astral limb.

When wick and
wax clogs with
foreign debris,

the Lamp of Wisdom
fed by pure sages
takes to the stages in

Astral Dance: Tango
of the Superlative Mind.

Oh my, Sage, such a beautifully scripted metaphysical romp! Nothing finer than dancing one's way out on some distant, attenuated astral limb seeking the light of Truth...
This is a superb creative piece.
Peace,
Carolyn

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Saving this one--thanks!

i thought the first stanza great that thin crust of the mind's divide
when i think of tango i think of buenas aires and the sleezy cafes of
the underworld & macho rituals & those starry nights of borges & the whirl of the tango days saludos

Poise and tension; balance and counterbalance; the centrifugal force binding all things together, bringing them close, and the opposing force keeping the tension true and holding them apart. This diverse and eclectic write puts the whole of life into the bag and shakes up our expectations nicely, producing a magimix cocktail for our mental and physical delectation. This has the energy of the Tango and the strength and grace of The Bolshoi. Love the style; whether it be from the hieroglyphs on the walls of a pyramid or from the mouth of a Sacred Monk in the hills of Tibet, each phrase has weight and glory waiting to be unlocked. A veritable treasure hunt, thank you The Sage xx

This piece is very cosmic in its method. The yin yang premise is throughout the whole piece of work and it's presence is the bulwark of what you are giving the reader. Nothing is stationary or complete in the astral dance.

In the Law of Diminishing Returns, the more you put into a project, the less return you get for your efforts !
You achieve the impossible by exercising your ethereal art in an effortless and fluent manner, that both captivates and endears your audience to your works !
I love the spectacular artwork too Sage
