in the beginning, the mind was void and without form
and Capricorn bowed deeply under the sword of Orion
the night was long, like the dreams of The Creator
before loneliness and boredom drove away primordial sleep
I was ready to ride the squeeze of the womb
a mind shedding darkness
I slid, splashed by blood and amniotic fluid
into waiting embrace of winter
Like it, taking the thoughts to the primordial regions. Never thought of it, though the concept of education and thoughts being formed, or even the character being formed, have been head of in history.
ReplyDeleteIs it your birthday today? :P
ReplyDeleteYes sir the sword of Orion swings some to life and some to death in winter. Last night on my block it wasn't a birth.
ReplyDeleteBy the by a more accurate translation of the word "was" in the Torah is became.
Always a pleasure Jason, always.

And the darkness in the world shivered, for a bright light had just entered. A soul that doesn't rest in it's drive towards grace and achievement. The world was blessed that day...

ReplyDeleteAtrisa, you got it! You unwound it from these murky words. (And not belated at all!)
Walking Man, better to be born than to be cut down.
Tab, have a wonderful new year!
