I hand myself over to you,
transcribed into the sound of hypnotic whisper,
promising heavens, and astral flights.
It takes moments to take off into planes of light,
a gravity free delirium calls,
I weightlessly entered through a translucent wall.
In this place, words are blown by a current
of the cosmic wind,
debris of my soul has vanished into abyss
filled with everlasting cry.
In this place, the emotion of a dream is tangible and real,
overriding any reason, overpowered by a desire…to fly.

A. S. Byatt, “Possession,” Book 2
“What is it? My dear?”
“Ah, how can we bear it?”
“Bear what?”
“This. For so short a time. How can we sleep this time away?”
“We can be quiet together, and pretend – since it is only the beginning – that we have all the time in the world.”
“And every day we shall have less. And then none.”
“Would you rather, therefore, have had nothing at all?”
“No. This is where I have always been coming to. Since my time began. And when I go away from here, this will be the mid-point, to which everything ran, before, and from which everything will run. But now, my love,
we are here, we are now, and those other times are running elsewhere.”

Music Inspiration: “Paradise” by Heinz Felber, Austria
Powerful felt words ..The music moves to an alternate universe very future oreinted.
Thank you Tami, the words are very deeply felt…and the music has bewitched me.
Yes, the ambient music whispers with a hypnotic effect, and your awaited poem, on hold, for such a long time touches deeply and mellows mind’s curbs turning the “emotion of a dream” into a winged night.
Thank you Rayka, you are right, this is a long time awaited poem that has forced its way out of me…with a little help from Mr Felber.
The first anniversary for Katija Pineiro’s poems! Great work, you are so much the heart and the soul of the blog…
Thank you very much Rayka…I am delighted to be a part of your blog; this past year has been a “work in progress”, let’s hope for many more to come…
Yes, we’ll continue catching up with pathless streams….
