Linger

I build a map to plan my escape

calamity found me, the doubtful mind

drifts to memories of better times

reality remains a mysterious design

with dreams, destined to expire

I cannot hide from my true desire.

It seems as though I am counting down to

my next mistake, masking my fate

In dyer need of proper guidance,

Empty words carry false cadence

ghostly hands create no alliance

all can be seen but not to be felt

If only you grew strength earlier

from the pit if your existence.

anger fills your veins, you relax

acceptance slowly erodes the soul

“Symbolism is the language of the Mysteries; in fact it is the language not only of mysticism and philosophy but of all Nature, for every law and power active in universal procedure is manifested to the limited sense perceptions of man through the medium of symbol. Every form existing in the diversified sphere of being is symbolic of the divine activity by which it is produced. By symbols men have ever sought to communicate those thoughts which transcend the limitations of language. Rejecting man-conceived dialects as inadequate and unworthy to perpetuate divine ideas, the Mysteries thus chose symbolism as a far more ingenious and ideal method of preserving their transcendental knowledge. In a single figure a symbol may both reveal and conceal, for to the wise the subject of the symbol is obvious, while to the ignorant the symbol remains inscrutable.”

Keep reminding yourself of the way things are connected, of their relatedness. All things are implicated in one another and in sympathy with each other. This event is the consequence of some other one. Things push and pull on each other, and breathe together, and are one.
