one in essence
by Günes Kale
aeons of time
blissfully we flew
in perfect union through space
then one day
when planets were born
one was split in two
the wheel of material
creation and recreation
turned in its own agenda
the memory of the sharp cut
as alive as on the first day
the separation happened
in endless cycles of life
we took part
fulfilling our duty
sometimes we met
sometimes not
always longing for each other
brother and sister
on the sacred islands
holding each other so dear
king and priest
in the land of the double crown
trying to keep the flame alive
initiate and initiator
in the sacred arts
of the far east
holy ritual -
the knife cuts deep
giving and receiving as one
a blue sheet of flowers
in an imprisoned city
stolen moments shortlived this time
young boy and wise woman
with bronze coloured skins
she left too early for him
ecstatic moments
in other spheres
flying high up into the skies
swirling and whirling
and dancing around
happy free spirits without a doubt
fire shaped another time
burning lips meet glowing
above the goddesses volcano.
waterfalls and island winds
friends and graceful messengers
from one to one in essence
heavenly rain
is well received
by mother earth
patiently waiting
for her lovers kiss
in stillness
sitting by the waterfall
one pondered
an ancient voice called
sweet heart
fame couldn't comfort
the longing
looking in vain
for the flower
on the seven pearls of the sea
going up to the mountains
to appease the yearning
and create
singing songs
sharing the delicate fragrance
as a tribute to love
in scarce precious moments
a gaze into darkness turns into light
near the window in the middle of the night
waves roll on to the shore
an endless blink of one's eyes
is treasured thoughtfully
vibrations travel far
the silent song
was heard
one made the journey
to follow the call
dreaming it all
being guided
on an invisible path
towards the sound of silence
listening to the chants
in the sacred valley
of voices long gone
flying over the holy volcano
gazing at another pearl
violated by strangers
nearly fainting
at the doors
of the white house in splendour
mind knows nothing yet
spirit is ever so patient
consciousness awaits the awakening
happy reconnection
with friends on the way
in shyness and delight
one met one
the first time
just confused
then coming home
to the family -
love is a circle of light
divine ecstasy
in the reunion of souls
but still something is missing
mind is not ready yet
to fully give in
to the change of course
one pure dream
two became one again
in utmost beauty
eight seasons passed
the gentle winds
sang gentle songs
in one eternal moment
essence met essence
descent took place
one heart stood still
shedding tears
in shock of reconnaissance
waves of sunrise
move in slow motion
seen by two in one
peaceful delight
followed by
torrents of reasoning
rays of light
from shimmering jade
open wounds of separation
there are myriads of ways
not to be explained
in the secrets and mystery of life.
