flower of life

lotus
petals splayed symmetrically on an infinite globe's face;
intersecting gaze of
omniscient eyes.

the void that spawns ten-thousand natural kinds

and the voice that breathes life into each of them so they might prosper.

points joined within this space form the five platonic solids,
physicality's straight edges and planes.
tetra-hexa-octa-dodeca-icosa-:
the poly-hedral, multifaceted blossoms in the flower.

the surface of the sphere is the shell of energy surrounding
the spinning merkaba anchored in each of us
(holy gyroscope, dues ex machina):
it is our spirit vehicle, the wings on which we soar.

the voice speaks in the resonance of this shell, to and through our souls.

the void responds in sympathetic song.

when body, mind
and spirit align in
syzygy within the flower of life we open the
lotus.
