Once I Spoke As An Owl

Constellations,

Visions of ancient ones,

From bits of thought,

Entering blank minds.

 

Praising lewd gods,

Columns of stone,

Brought to form.

Violence wrought life.

 

The all forgiving savior,

Truth is expressed,

A crowd renewed,

With human bondage.

 

O, turn the earth golden!

Magic at the crossroads,

Teach suffering,

Learn humility.

 

Desirous of a life light prolonged,

Say yes,

Say no,

Where is Nirvana?

 

The lost desired dreams of mystics mirth,

Stranger on the strand,

You could have judged,

With a better eye.

 

When it is dark enough you can still see the stars –

 

The less now I speak.
