Sculpture by Görsel Sonucu
Hija minotauro, Leonora Carrington
A world of perpetual spring, soft light flickering among the young green leaves casts dancing shadows upon the dark forest floor. So old. So full of secrets. So many taken to the grave by the only ones who knew them.
Yet the forest knows those secrets and keeps them close and never forgets, hidden among moss and stone, and wild roots that spread underground like lightening crawls across a dark sky.
Only the gurgling brook murmers the words that reveal what has happened across the millenia, in a language that only a Seer can understand and interpret, and all but a few of them are left to speak to us.
The pilgrimage began with maps folded inside questions.
Mountains were climbed. Scriptures worn soft beneath searching fingers. Teachers gathered like fireflies in the dusk, each offering another lantern for a road that always seemed to bend beyond the next horizon.
Seasons ripened and fell away. Identities cracked like old bark. Every certainty dissolved into wider skies until even the one who sought became transparent.
Then, without trumpet or revelation, the search simply grew too weary to continue.
A raven called.
Wind combed through tall grass.
Sunlight spilled across an ordinary stone.
There, in the naked intimacy of what had never been absent, recognition bloomed.
The traveler had never crossed a single distance.
The path, the longing, the world, and the one who had chased the Divine through a thousand names were the Divine all along, delighting in the exquisite disguise of forgetting, only to awaken to its own boundless face reflected in every leaf, every breath, every pair of eyes.

A Soldier's Lament
Shall I die for the vanity of kings?
And when shall my tired
lonely feet find the final path
once more alone
That will take me back
where waits a cool dry bed
and the welcome site
of hearth and home?
Perception versus perspective.
I'm trying to wrap my brain around that concept.
Am I seeing the world as I think it is, or am I seeing it as it really is?
It's that old adage that says you can't understand a person until you've walked a mile in their shoes.
The unseen hand
the eyes behind the eyes
mine eyes have seen
The territory of the mind
beyond the facade
this is no place for the blind
When people don't tell the truth,
it always ends badly especially
in the darkest night
When the fragments of time
have no effect
it makes me saddest of all
And the things in our closets
can sometimes escape
and wreak havoc
While we can only
sit and watch and wonder
what went wrong
Dying Breath
by D. Rebellio
As flames lick the sky
like an impassioned lover,
smoke obscures the day moon
as if it is made of nothing
but the ash of a promise unkept
Cities and streets
are silent and full of ghosts,
forever chained to that
which might have been
And as night falls like
water from the petals
of roses red with the blood
of countless hearts
torn apart by avarice
and greed for power,
The etherealness of life
grows dim with the
setting of a dying sun,
Crimson in its last
dying breath

Forever Lost
by D. Rebellio
In the houses of dust
Beneath a starless night
Kings and Princes
Who's lonely dark vigil
Brings no release
And no respite
Their tarnished crowns
And broken jewels
Mean nothing with the
Dying of their lonely light
The righteousness
Of their pitiful cause
Is nothing now and is
Covered in rotting
Mounds of wasted might
Dark ages cover them
And they are forever lost
The silence of the void
Speaks volumes.

Gone
by D. Rebellio
I saw my first
Firefly tonight
Dressed in ethereal
Pale green light
Like last June
And the June before
Oh, that I may seek
That pale green glow
And find my way back
To Endless Dawn
Then join with the flow
Into the great beyond
To rest at last with those
Who've already gone
