Lonely Path

behold a flurry
of love particles and serenity
on my lonely journey
into the luminous
heart of beauty
harvesting the moon
and tasting the divine fruit
of the realm with flaming lips

i move forward in style
moulding
the future
with glee
near the
blue mountains

yet, the past
still cast a long shadow
over my dreams
as i weather the storm
like this cosmic dust
like the ghost
of the
rainbow warrior
on a mission
taming the dragons

you nourish
my naked soul with your
magic fragrance
blessing
my days
as i soldier on
(seeking peace)
with utmost delight
under
the flush
of bloom
from the distant galaxies
