Ethereal Horizons

SECLUSION<br/> Where the past lies in silence<br/> No memory<br/> No voice<br/> <br/> My shadows slowly freeze<br/> Beneath star that shines without warmth<br/> <br/> The void<br/> Terrifying<br/> Majestic<br/> <br/> The void<br/> It speaks to those who choose to listen<br/> And teaches those who choose to hear.<br/> <br/> Solitude<br/> Disorientation<br/> Learning to walk without hope<br/> To move forward by no longer seeking<br/> <br/> “You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star.”<br/> (Fredrich Nietzsche)

THE ORDEAL<br/> At the heart of fire, transformation<br/> <br/> Pain illuminates<br/> Pain guides<br/> And the heart beats… differently<br/> <br/> The flame shapes without hatred<br/> A new awareness<br/> Intimate with the divine<br/> <br/> Refuge<br/> Ordeal<br/> Initiation<br/> <br/> The formless being refines in the furnace<br/> Incandescence as the cradle of rebirth<br/> <br/> “In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.”<br/> (Albert Camus)

THE FALL OPENS THE SKY<br/> A rift in the sky<br/> The fracture opens<br/> As reality slowly tears apart<br/> <br/> What once seemed darkness welcomes light<br/> The world loses itself in its own reflection<br/> <br/> In silence, the call urges crossing<br/> This void that triumphs over fear<br/> <br/> Ascension<br/> To rise – like falling into the essential<br/> <br/> Surrender<br/> Liberation<br/> To be no more<br/> <br/> “The wound is the place where the light enters you.”<br/> (Rumi)

WHAT BURNS NOW LISTENS<br/> After the light, silence reigns<br/> Absence welcomes presence<br/> Thought dissolves into mist<br/> <br/> Silence<br/> Wordless<br/> What remains after the fall<br/> No voice<br/> No sound<br/> Only peace<br/> <br/> Eash second builds a world<br/> And silence heals what fire once wounded<br/> The wind ceases to resist<br/> The stillness where all may finally be born<br/> Becomes truth<br/> <br/> “Silence is the language of god, all else is poor translation.”<br/> (Rumi)

(<em>Instrumental</em>)<br/> TWIN SUNS REVERIE<br/> Two suns above the dunes<br/> This warmth that cradles<br/> The desert as mirage<br/> Offering light, shadow and breath<br/> Two suns that shape the distant horizons<br/> <br/> Plenitude<br/> The past is no more, the future will never be<br/> <br/> Nothing to change<br/> Nothing to await<br/> Nothing to reach<br/> <br/> “With the sun and moon in the sky, I do not mourn what is lost. I only watch what is.”<br/> (Lao Tseu)

THE END BECOMES GRACE<br/> A sea of stars and silence<br/> Liquid flesh<br/> The ego has fallen silent<br/> The name is no more<br/> A vast and boundless cosmic ocean.<br/> Where galaxies drown<br/> <br/> All is connected, all is fluid<br/> Together as one, at the end<br/> Of a journey that traces a circle through the heart of the universe<br/> Not a n end, but a return…<br/> <br/> Life and void breathe as one<br/> Here, eternity abides<br/> <br/> “We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.”<br/> (Pierre Teilhard De Chardin)
