Astral Messages

Deep and deeper into the fiery depths

Down and down ‘neath the cooling stillness

Where obscured symbols serve for words

And standing stones encircle scented voids

Ancient primordial creatures stir

And other strange images form down there

Midst blue and emerald mind mists

And the elemental mysteries of inner Earth

Where fires’ flames lick and dance

And the shimmering air swirls entranced

Crystalline waters trapped as precious opals

Sublime and regal royals enthroned

Through all eternity as cold and darkened stones

Images move and rise and fall

Emerging, emerging and then not at all

Half-formed figures born floating linger

Whispers and soundless sounds as tinder

To spark and fuel those inner flames

Astral messages calling ancient names

Billowing, enduring truths exclaimed
