At the end of the night,
finally comes the mineral moment
of unwanting;
a free fall,
to test the lustrous thread
and taste infinity,
by traveling through
crisp, frozen layers of loss.
There, I see the cracks
multiple reflections (truths)
in need of reconstruction
- a unifying breath.
My hand then puts together
opalescent feathers
like cards laid on the dinner table
in a place almost defined
between bread crumbs and dripping candles.
So the mandala of peace appears
when Isis opens the chest
to suddenly free my heart
where revelations are written,
reflected in my irises at dawn.
At dawn, naturally emptied,
instead of wanting
(and wanting, and wanting),
mirrors in mirrors,
blades against blades;
once separated signs
now form new shapes:
drops of garnet blood
form crosses and crystals.
In a moment,
all the sacred pieces
(of me) are assembled to form
a whole.
Emptied again,
yet embodied:
a cup, a circle, so full.
Emptied again,
yet embodied:
a cup, a circle, so full.

You are indeed an inspiration.

The distinct feeling that I as a reader am intruding but am welcome nonetheless as you lead me through an exegesis of wants. This poem stimulates and enriches intellect, heart and spirit.

Only from ones hand can be constructed these worths. Passion formed from Egyptian's
gold is best served only to a kindred soul that is old. And you have an old soul, and is seen in the tempered beauty of your words.
You have the eyes of a sage, the heart of an angel, and the wisdom of the ages lost in time.
