what the mind has forgotten--spirituality

Posted by smokeymadison on December 30, 2004, at 3:20:14

Between the angel and the animal
Lies the despotic eye
Turned from all that it surveys
Towards the vanishing point

And there lies melancholy
Where chocolate roses melt
In the soul’s feverish heat
Into puddles of sweet bitterness

Between the heavens and the abyss
We wander through
A technicolor virtual reality
So very far from home

The cogito project
Descartes’ plump and spoiled brat
Has projected our minds farther
Than our bodies may follow

So through dreams
And disjointed memories
The fat apple tricks our eye
Into partaking of its sweet skin

We forget the angel
And become orphans of the earth
We forget the animal
And become gods of its domain

As the exile mourns
The loss of the homeland
So the soul longs
For the mind to remember
