Divinity of Shadows


The first inkling of division
Comes into existence, at conception

Where – There

Is an explosion of white light,
A crescendo -

In contours of full fledged
Masterpiece,

Absorbed into an event horizon
Composed

Of self.

And then the division begins…

Cell by cell, unto sight,
In utero

Of opening eye, pledged
To this:

Become what we must become,
Enclosed

In self.

And the division continues…

Into the screaming abyss,
Into an imperfect world -
For why is it like this,
That we are seemingly hurled,

With no seeming purpose,
As the sun makes a collision
With the self, producing shadows,
Sending opening eyes to introspection.

And I see it…

Maybe then,

Shadows exist
For

Examination
&

Examination

Leads back
To

The

Divine.

Author's Note
Another idea that came in a hypnogogic state.

The term "examined life" entered my mind.

And that became a focal point for a meditative state, or

Altered State of Consciousness.

And then suddenly the cadre to this piece spontaneously manifested
from the depths of the darkness...

Like Eureka.

This is some strange stuff man.

I have been heavily influenced by all of you.

I am grateful.
