HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS

Ravenous, we seek omniscience
absorbing experience with lupine ferocity
omnivorous, gnashing our teeth on eloquence
even sheep can learn from the slaughter

Restless blood flowing
through a gossamer body
of molten crystal flesh
and newborn wings unfettered

Lift me up, lift me up
luminous soul soars free
to astral heights, seeking astral lights
tangible earth connection of umbilical thread

Radiating rainbow flames of emotion
we burn, ignited by inner kindlinig
we shine lustrous in the dark
imploding with celestial effervescence

Cognizant of our inner self
seeking to feed this fire of burning spirit
to consume a manna of gnostic power
to slake our thirst on living

Growth and contentment are not stationary
for it is departure which brings bliss
just as change is salvation for the stagnant
pass through umbra worlds of reality, linger not,
for it's not the destination, but the journey that matters.
