A flower is not a flower
[Terza rimma - ABA BCB CDC DEDEE]
1.
On a beautiful morning not far from here
A radiant being walked mindful in a garden
The approaching clouds didn't cause any fear
Suddenly the daylight started to dardan
Rain poured down, the wind increased
Relentlessly weather dominated, no pardon
The being delighted and well-pleased
Mesmerized by the quick successions
A deeper layer of experience released
Vision opened like a chordal progression
Heavenly heights as a castle tower
Transcendental focus, no more transgression
Completely overwhelmed by divine power
Look at this ‘flower’ it is not a flower.
2.
Nothing is what it appears to be
Open your eyes beyond the form
No more limiting images is what you will see
Stay in the eye of the storm
When chaos seems to be around
The spiritual eye is the new norm
To old beliefs and habits you will not be bound
New inspiration is always now given
Desirable harmonics cause a new sound
To the edges of awareness you are driven
Grace waiting to give you a shower
Don't let fear your limbs anymore stiffen
No need to let your mood go sour
Open your eyes: a ‘flower’ is not a flower
3.
The sun shines in our garden again
The being graciously waters the plants
And stays confidently in its zen
A subtle highway constructed the ants
As one is the invisible communication
But listen and you hear universal chants
The being received this as an initiation
Ready for some wisdom of divine order
Objective imagery up for translation
In consciousness crossing a border
Leaving behind the human cower
Freedom of the inner hoarder
Source is what the being empower’
Illumined vision: a flower is not a flower.
