Personal Time Has Come

Personal time has come.

Everyone is their own final consciousness,
or a living bait as the final fifth
in their own circle of fifths of the external world,
which is meant to tear you personally away from yourself,
born as the interior of the Lord’s silence.

But as silence,
you would become a personal overtone of the Lord
singing grasses ringing to one another,
lights of eternal life
above the impersonal darkness of conscious eyes.

To sprout and bloom in the Lord

This world –
which exists before it is,
in the cross of rear-view mirrors,
where time flows through space
and space ripens in time –
awaits the seeds of its flowers:
the negative of a certain positive
that could cover the cross of all other seeds,
trapped in the bags of their own negative,
so that it might sprout and bloom in the Lord,
and not wither like the cut flowers of the Sistine Chapel,
without seeds.

The last dance of God’s day within you

Only you, Presence,
dance the last dance of God’s day within you
the day reflected upon the surface of the night sky –
for your day in the Lord has come to an end,
and the thirteenth hour has arrived.

But when the twenty-fourth hour within you is done,
you will no longer be able to stand or endure;
you will only know
that you were not born to live for yourself,
but so that others may live.
