Astronymphs

Although unpolished her stone still shines,
she is untarnished,
and sends out waves of inspiration
as she orbits like a Comet around my Solar Plexus,
her hair blowing back from the cosmic breeze within me,
melting the ice of catatonic friction imposed on us all....
Yet, I understand.



The Spectrum, from black to white
has innumerable shades between..
and some of us may understand, and view,..
but not one of us shall view all.

The rain shall wash away the tears
in sympathy with the dark clouds
which mirror their origins.

All of nature holds the secrets and answers
to our desires and sufferings.
Look within the structures and mechanisms
of all life, as well as cosmic formation.

the long dead tree,
the ash of burnt paper,
the coral of sea life,
the seed and stamen,
the sea shells on a lonely beach,
the cellular structure of the plant,
and perhaps especially,
the occult worlds of microscopic cities..
and down, down,
ad infinitum..
