The Causal Ocean


Crimson beams alluring to a new day’s dawn

Natures greeting to a venerable world reborn

Helios again rising banishing darkness away

Reviving Gaia with an effortless coloured array

 

Hidden by the surreal cloak of deep dark night

Unseen creatures avoiding the advancing light   

An arrival announcement of the goddess Aurora

By a boisterous cacophony nascent from the flora

 

A time immemorial celestial re-occurrence

Aeons passing during new species emergence

All omnipotent gods to such primitive men

Who knew without knowing the meaning of zen

 

Consciousness expanding into a knowledge of self

Oracles and healers building community wealth

Along with knowledge came the need for greed

Leading to destruction by worldwide blitzkrieg

 

Armageddon is now upon us sayeth the wise

Then Brahma yawns and closes his eyes

A deafening silence in the absence of light

An end, a beginning, a creationist plight

 

Mixing matter and soul and spirit and nature

A maelstrom causal nexus of the creator

As the ascetic meditator wakes and yawns

Crimson beams allure as a new day dawns
