Sky Lantern Sigil


A symbol crafted with nimble
Fingertips… Departing

Land,

Teleported from a portal
In an open hand -

Upon a horizon where I stand,
Seeking out the celestial

In a sacred stance -
Searching for the sacred…

Knowing
It
When I see

It -

As it rises from

Level
To
Level

Like the process of trance

As I close
My
Eyes

And it continues to rise
In the skies

Of

My mind’s eye.

Author's Note
Something that frequently occurs with me
is what I suppose might be called epiphanies or eurekas...

For example a lot of times when I am
lying in bed... I will think of something, connect dots and things.

Often I will go and write something down,
which, as you can imagine...  Is inopportune.

Typically, I do not even have to write them
down, as they burn so bright...  

But I never want to take the chance.

Well...  I had one of these moments,
and I was just thinking about the nature of these things...

Like the underlying sources.

It occurred to me that there was a write there,
then the next day I read:

"Beyond the Read" by LDF

And wrote this.
