Leaving
current
creatio­n
behind.

Ghosts.
Creation’s
ghosts.
Universal
spirit.
Ether
bound,
dimensi­onally
spread.
Everywhere.
Every time.
All at
once.
Universal
consciousness
fabric
rippling
throughout.
Ener­gy
pulsating,
congealing.
Bits and
pieces
limited
scope.
Minute
part of
the whole.
Spinning
up, crashing
back again.
Reabsorbed
to reemerge.
Creations
milieu.
Wild thrashings
of the
way
things are.

Seed

its been

planted.

Deep

down

the roots

spread.

Base

building

then

reaching.

Reaching

for the

cloud.

Subtly

spreading

here to

there.

Bending

minds.

Wrapping

ensnarling,

altering

thoughts,

perception.

Enfolding,

inhabiting

souls.

In the

end,

something

different

arrives.

Glass
darkly.
Reflections.
Perceptions
of creation.
Shadows
on a cave
wall.
What
can be
known,
understood?
Human
pictographs,
of creation,
reality.
Perception
shackled,
stunted.
Words,
concepts,
thoughts.
Reflections
of a
finite
vision.
Hieroglyphics
of  
creation.
Through
a glass darkly
we walk.
Reflections
of tiny
scope.
Snarling
righteous
little beasts.
What fools
we mortals
be.
