Hymn to Osiris

18 March 2004
"The doors of perception open; what was hidden has been revealed. It is myself I see and a thousand colors swirling in liquid light... I have come home. I have entered humanhood, bound to rocks and plants, men and women, rivers and sky. I shall be with you in this and other worlds... All these things am I, portents, images, signs. Though apart, I am a part of you... You and I together are a single creation... May we come and go in and out of heaven through the gates of starlight. As the houses of earth fill with dancing and song, so filled are the houses of heaven. I come in truth. I sail a long river and row back again. It is joy to breathe under the stars. I am the sojourner destined to walk a thousand years until I arrive at myself."

~from "Awakening Osiris"

The doors of deception open; what was revealed has been hidden . A dark side of myself devoid of color - black abyss swirling in manic purgatory... I have lost home. I have entered humanhood, bound to emotions and all that is untangible. I am alone in another world... All these things am I, portents, images, signs, feel lifeless. I am without you. I was never supposed to be a single creation... I come and go in and out of reality through the gates of starlight, wandeing... I fill my lifeboat with sea dancing and wave songs, to find you in the heavens... floating away, the houses of heaven on the sea. I seek the truth. Cannot sail a long river and row back again, without you... so I'm lost in it. Breathe under the stars for joy, the search is almost complete and I am the sojourner destined to walk a thousand years until I arrive at unity.
