The Light and the Fire

                The Light and the Fire        Pious Zarathustra – priest of Sacred Light – Preaching of his visions, (angel-brought at night), That God was best worshipped in the private heart Of each person’s conscience. Everyone is part Of this world’s existence and must challenge sin In the […]

Friendship

     Friendship        If you would like to chat, (Of this thing or of that), In trustful confidence: Remember your best friends.        With others or alone, (In person or on phone, By e-mail or by post), There’s nothing to be lost.        In good times and in […]

Time and Art [2]

Time and Art [2]                                         [From A Theory for Art (iix)]        Time is life’s last illusion, and shall be Until we understand what it must mean. Art teaches us that all truths must refract, […]

Contrarious Love

                Contrarious Love   Sometimes good and sometimes bad,      Sometimes joyful, sometimes sad, Sometimes blessing, sometimes curse,      Sometimes better, sometimes worse;           Love’s all these and that is why           It’s a disturbing agency.

Inquisitor

                               Inquisitor        That starry Question-mark displayed upon the dark Probes deeply my self-doubts with chill persistency. How did we come to be?. What is the point of life?. Is there a caring God?. Or Hell?. OrParadise?.     […]

                          Blind Maze   It’s sometimes said that life is like a maze Of one-way doors through which we pass each time     We start some phase in our experience          And we must choose, or blindly guess, the prime          Way forward and […]

Mystery

                            Mystery        I do not know how it will be for me In days that follow this. My thoughts are blind To what the future holds so secretly. In fate’s queer contradictions I can find No logical progressions; each new day […]
