If I could construct
a spiritual pathway
it would revolve
and lift a spiral
beyond any roof.
We’d walk in water
with both feet on earth,
because of the steepness
gasping for air.
To get into truth
we would poke at a bonfire
and yell at the moon
letting out light.

I'm really enjoying reading this... but meanings are escaping me. Answer... in the last stanza, for some reason I'm interpreting the bonfire to represent an artificial light (truth) in which is found warmth, yet the natural light (truth) of the moon is being held in contempt.
ReplyDeleteA pleasure to read.

I'm trying to get the 4 elements to come together into truth - represented by human warmth and yes contempt for the moon as it has no natural warmth itself! I can see it's confusing and I'll have another look. Tx 4 the feedback; I appreciate!! J
ReplyDeleteI certainly like it but I guess I didn't really "get it" either. Great to read the comment & your response, an added little treat
ReplyDeleteI have experienced all of these lights at once...under a mountain sky, the brilliant stars, the chilly moon, the glowing campfire and the mysterious inner Light that reflects and intensifies them all. :-) namaste
