The sacred feeling
the universe in your eyes
The feeling of self a haze
But a boundless connection to infinity
It comes, it lifts, then fades away,
A fall that stretches, in disarray
Theories of life ripped away
All instincts devoid of creativity
The sacred feeling
the moon in my eyes
From my room’s window
I feel the celestial grace, a moment
I carry out the punishment of writing
Words and thoughts, struggles igniting
It all has to be excavated out of extinction
It all has to be brought back from its grave
The sacred feeling is astray
The spiritual torture so vast
that the vocal cords lose its power
I speak an impossible speech
Listening becomes my only responsibility
The futility of all that I have said becomes clear
The uselessness of all that I have created
comes to light, the vision was always blind
So when speech returns
a conscious choice arises
The artist’s voice is veiled in a curse
In this silence, any new creation dissolves,
a universe reversed into its silhouetted home

Deeply melancholic. The artist always longs for their message(s) to be divined.
