Silentium (Over the inner Stone)

Although you are the land where I lay,

the rooted tree where Ego conceals itself

Although you are the placid river I drink

an embrace by the sleeping sun

I shall dare to walk toward the border

beyond the space

There’s a peaceful place

I know

There, where Still rests

Wanderer above the Sea of Fog (1818) by Caspar David Friedrich

Ic Eom

For the universe I am a particle
product of a sudden explosion

For the silence I am the elixir of
a sincere word to say

For death I am a temptation
ridiculous and burlesque

For the winter I'm the cold
lethal, invisible and indivisible

For my land I am a crazy wanderer
playing with the wind
and dissipating the shadows

For me I am the voice that deceives its echo
the word that cannot find its origin
the blood that never sleeps.

The reason is lost, and here I am one.

Flower of Life by Frida Kahlo (1943)

 

At the Point of Death (The Principle)

Dawn in my head

lightness and darkness in my mind…

True story of madness,

true natural wisdom.

War by Alfred Kubin (1902-03)
