Tamasii: Spirit, Soul

Silently salient moments meander,
motioning towards memory,
recalling minutes, seconds lived
longingly.

An open call on life itself,
rafters dusted lightly by 
spirit's breath 
thrum with operatic passion
as voices ring unto the heavens,
lifting souls past yearning,
past the duality of daily life,
the joy and the pain combined,
existing, second by second
betwixt heaven and hell.

The still perfection of a winter's pond
silent, ice blessing the sky,
warm and wet,
promising the water beneath
a quick view of the heavens
before hell freezes over yet again,
in preparation for the inevitable
coming of spring.

Barren brown twigs burst brightly,
orange, yellow, green, photosynthetic
promises of life deny the illusion of death,
fulfilling the blessing of cyclic eternity,
as above, so below.

Breath billows, moving air
in visible currents outwards, shaping prana
and bellowing kundalini
as auric colors brighten
in anticipation of the diurnal journey
of brother sun and sister moon,
the body's deep programming churning
endlessly, its mechanisms, machinations,
melancholy; depressed, opressed
by the relentless approach of dotage,
damning youth to obscurity,
promising wisdom,
laughing at misguided lives,
lived in search of happiness that never existed
as such, simply because beneath the surface,
far below the icy froth capping
the dark well of intentionality
and karmic expectation, only probability exists,
the endless fashioning of cause and effect,
efervescing endlessly, forming unions
with the unbound in anticipation of
manifestation.

And we live quietly,
ignorantly unaware that each moment
is a chance to burst forth from our shells,
to spontaneously combust
as each cell within our bodies unites
in perfect harmony in opposition to control,
concern and concomitant commonalities
that curse days of toil and obscurity
with mundane existence, passing
unremarked upon into the dustbin
of small, meaningless moments
that fill lotus-like leaves of
the soul's incarnate word,
spoken before creation
become.

Simply magnificent, life is.
Subtle, sublime, serene.
