Ecstasy

In the waters of antiquity
a seed sleeps
within every imagination
it awakens when summoned
it dies when told
it harnessed the power
of the spirit and the soul
a hermaphroditic entity ---
--- creation
 
Light mates with darkness
in the roots before dawn
a Peacock’s tail began to swell
spouting beautiful green wings
and the mystery of creation
within the waters of life
dances with each other ---
--- again and again
 
I know what it’s like to fly
spreading my wings
lifting my spirit into the sky
I know what it’s like to fly
 
I know how life feels
green flesh; a good meal
on my cheeks, joyous tears
I know how life feels
 
Within the mind of antiquity
a seed awakens
and sleeps to be ---
--- reborn
