[ The nothing that shaped his soul ]


The nothing that shaped his soul


This poor man, orphaned,

who owns a high house

-for more than one family-

he wrestles daily with all common

robbed of his rest

his cleanliness lost in wonder

as the water rushes through the dales

and so takes down the high

he had built his life on


One wonders why he's powerless

but is he, for in his past, the past

he knew, his inner, his self

before life began

nameless like in a womb

still unshaped yet with the strength

to come alive, give life

nobly roothed in the commons

the nothing with soul




Demystified Thirty-nine

Looking through an unfaded green mirror


See

-

I don't belong 

to any -

none Order 

as I'm a stray

- astray -

a lost wanderer 

a desperate lover

-

Only - One

-

If ever I felt related to

one figure from the past

it would be a king, a priest

-

though I condemn royalty

as for clergy it can never be

a profession as when a calling

-

One - Just

-

Here, again, here again 

in this the hour of need  

my one judge of judges 

-

Just - One

-

As I face you and face

me looking in the mirror 

seeing a shade of Green

-

One - Only

-

The loner remains fresh

as he wonders a world

this guardian of seekers

-

'My eyes were ever green'

 he said and so are mine

...thus we commenced...

[ Sigil of strength ]


Sigil of strength

see no virtue 

in ritual behaviour

as my inner strength

it

does not rely on force

the last one a farce 

like humaneness

if

that offers no justice

go back - get back

to the one source

o

where spring springs

to this life and men

do walk steadfast

to

confide in its highest

inner voice  of strength

intensive yet so at peace

in

creating its own path

there's no road to walk

and paraphrasing a poet 

si

¡Oye!

hay no vereda

compadres

hay no caminos

y una vez allí

no miremos atrás



Demystified Thirty-eight



Translation of the Spanish lines:

yes

Hear!

there's no pathway

comrades

there are no roads

and once there

let's not look back.

[ O so at ease ]


So

at 

ease

O

to be civilized 

in civilisation

never to act

just to be 

- still 

- me 

not to measure

not to rule

a ruler

O

at 

ease

so

know no desire, just stillness

and the path of peace is ours

written at the end of this world

so

at 

ease




Demystified Thirty-seven

[ The strategist ]


The strategist


said


this is for the thieves 


and robbers


in so many ways


as well as for those who


claim nobility even royalty


as these have no meaning 


in so many ways


none other than to collect


-¡-


I'll sagely shed them no light


to reach heaven's path


nor will I give Machiavellian


advise to the politician


all I will ever be is a fierce axe


in so many ways


one that cuts and seperates


to root out what is wrong


to  shine  for  the  One


an iron on iron spark


so like a soft flame


in so many ways


the strategist


spoke of


love




Demystified Thirty-six
