The Language of Stolen Fire.

Atalanta Fugiens 1618

~

The Language of Stolen Fire

Lights the Lamp of Heaven.

~

In order to enter into Heaven,

I must learn the fiery lexicon;

the Cherubim with flaming sword,

will test my Metals of the Word.

~

"Who does the Grail serve" above?

My Executive with Wine of Love.

Sleeping Giant in unconscious ocean,

Voice of schizophrenic hallucination.

~

Kundalini, stolen language of the gods,

the mythology of a higher World;

devours my ego even as I learn;

emotion and airy thinking burns.

~

Percival, simple hero and the fool,

makes it into the symbolic castle;

finds the Grail of a New Skin,

Vessel for a fitting Libation.

~

The "Helmet of salvation" forged,

with Spirit of New Wine distilled,

awakens the Sun-god of my Soul,

Seola, from the sea, a golden Child.

~

First he learns symbolic words,

then strings them into mythic tales;

the fire language of co-creation,

forges, distils, lights a Lamp ashine.

~

The Cherubim will ask a question,

in the dialect spoken in Heaven:

"Who are you before my fiery tongue?"

A Lamp burning to get back Home.

~

Two languages of the human brain,

water and air last but a lifetime;

so learn the lexicon of the flame,

dragon breathing the eternal I AM.
