Endymion

Endymion Dreaming

After the incineration of the promethean man he is reborn as a dreamer dreaming of love and beauty from a higher world and seeking a realm beyond the boundaries of the senses

Drenching in light spraying in the air a glittering mirror's flitting spectrum in colours' thousand shades,

In the blending vapour emitting incense in the matin haze,

In feeling's unresolved maze,

Like a springing flower caressing the heart in oblation

In dream's fragile hidden rays,

In soft and pure light surveying beneath the blue vault in the spectral waves the senses' depth in a vigilant breast,

In a deep...deep vista of the mind...inviting mysterious lights...withdrawing in the infinite space...mooring deep in a shore far from the ocean leaving turbulent waves,

In the chequered feelings in the sunlight rays eluding and disclosing the mortal's state,

In the curling cloudlets where in the realm of form bound by laws the rain-drops floating in peace in space -free from duress of earth - in radiation bind in bonds of time the vapours emitting the spectral rays ,

Captivating mind in light's fragile chain,

In fettering words, thoughts and poem...

In a curving circlet in a gorgeous beam , like a jewel in splendid stream , as a marvellous rainbow arch in the sun drenched ether in splendid blaze,

A burgeoning, quivering dream gleaming in joy of holding in shape the feelings bound in senses' fragile threads,

Conceals and devours the moments that this bosom's tumults confess,

In shapes of things,

In joy of living,

In measuring in light things' existence by clarity and brilliance that they restore,

While touch and grasp try to reckon what is everlasting and sure,

In sorcery of things , eluding explanation ,

The hidden force beyond things ,as they appear and are,

In the eyes' blinking light all secrets conceals,

Invalidates the meaning of observing and the power of explanation from which the human mind its power of prudent judgements receive.

Dream, lie, farce, fantasy, make-believe,

Lawless errors that intervene in the mind to solve psychological crisis,

In sorrows' triumph,

In untruth invalidating the truth,

In heart's festive enchantment, where pleasure and comfort in life's fairy tale strangely create a paradise,

Bring me out from the abyss of a dark cavernous hell.

 

Here I wake, rise, quickly rub my eyes, see as long as the marvel lasts,

Wonder as long as the pleasures coach the heart where beauty and glory of heaven and the earth amidst splendour of things burgeoning, quivering between the paradise and the realm of the dark,

Stir and exploit my longing for beauty and love .

As the blinking eyes cease to flicker,

In tranquil light,

In moments' flow ,

In dream's flight,

Seeking world beyond pleasure and delight,

I cross the rainbow where the stars guide the light in the highest height.

In gleaming light,

In shapes teeming,

In joys of living,

Flowers and birds dreaming fulfilment in mortal eyes,

Green meadow!

Embosomed sward!

Stillness , happiness and pain ascertaining the depths of thoughts!

Poesy or speech, prose or verse!

Dissolving and floating!

Feelings distorting and mutilating words!

Touch and grasp weaving, threading and explaining or interpreting the fragility of sense of pain !

In eyes seeing and dreaming!

The spectral waves streaking on the blue vault and measuring the limit where the sky has lost its weight!

In nothing....

In labyrinthine way....

Radiation surveying the remaining haze,

In hollow void devouring the lofty rays,

In bosom fleeing, gliding and passing through multitudinous blaze,

In a strange paradise!

In a secret place ,

Where curly clouds, swerving, lightning, in a vaulting edifice,

Chain, captivate, and bind the mortal and carry him away,

I see the triumph of God , the abduction of the soul in a chariot of lightning passing under the rainbow in a triumphal way.

In whirring wheels...

In the sky-tracks, where the sounds crumble under the speeding waves,

Lifting high beyond rainbow's in the vaulting sky dwelling in the depth of the space,

Lo ! where in radiant victory the dazzling sparkling chariot fills the dust-tracks with rays,

In never ending ascend,

Spouting flames from the diadem,

Stirring the firmament,

Illumining the soul beyond the rainbow's range,

Echoing feelings from senses' pinnacle where no sound can attend,

Binding a fierce and defiant earthly spirit God carries man away from the senses' den.

Over dales and vales where the green hues open the light of the heart,

Amidst flowers and grass ,

In jingling and ringing sounds of bells,

Where musicians, singers and erudite,

Toil, strive, struggle,

And answers search :"Why is this birth? Why life should end? "

In solitude,

Forlorn and apart, this mind tremble, resound, echo and warble in language and words.

Lo mankind !

In nature's confine,

In forest path afar,

The songs of light bring the magic notes of dream and life in my heart.

On Earth pulsating!

Wavelets dancing and advancing!

The flowers springing!

The birds winging!

With the clearing clouds the radiation piercing dust in tracks and curves,

The eyes evermore receding...far...farther...farthest away in the ethereal domain where criss-crossing sunlight assure warmth of Helios - the life giving star,

As a rose cannot explain to the eyes how the beauty with its opulence comes as a dream although the petals the senses' burning share,

Meadows and pastures,

The vines, the vineyards, and the bending grapes leaning on the shadows that the hill tops crest,

The mountain chains, the shining ragged peaks rising above the verdure breasts,

Flocks of birds skimming, dividing, and dispersing in the air,

The clouds joining , dividing and fading away from stares,

Never...never bring an end to the dream,

There seems to exist no answer how things happen to be here,

How I fly in the wings of light in the world of dream though I do not exist in time "here" or "there.

Heaven AND EARTH UNITE IN DREAM
