Levitation of Spirit


Musical consciousness
surpassing even the bliss of silence

Touch that lifts
layered secrets from the
striations of marble

Salt upon the lips
swirling distant memories
of aquatic heritage

Colors that mix
mind's forever pigments
with imagined emotions
not yet born
yet ancient in nature's
sorrow and joy

Might it have been...love

That

which we know little of
which rises above earthly truth
to the darkness
that only light can know

Mr. Barber

To a secular believer
what is your Lamb of God
if not something
only transcendence can deliver
perhaps while listening to one's breath
or your harmonies of ethereal conscience

What might it be?

To be conscious that you are ignorant of the facts is a great step to knowledge. Consciousness for many is a slippery concept. It isn’t just the stuff in your head. It is the subjective experience of some of that stuff. When you stub your toe, your brain doesn’t merely process information and trigger a reaction: you have a feeling of pain. When you are happy, you experience joy. The ethereal nature of experience is the mystery at the heart of consciousness. How does the brain, a physical object, generate a non-physical essence? Thanks for sharing. rlc

Every once in a while, like your poem describes, something touches me in a very positive and beautiful way. In this poem you have illustrated that beautifully.

Interesting that you are dealing with the subject of levitation of spirit in an era when we seldom think about ourselves as "souls" or a "spirit". According to the spiritual traditions, spirit begins with the breath and travels with the wind "thru the darkness that only light can know."
