People looking for the magic of elves
if they look into themselves,
it doesn't matter where it is
the question is what appears.

People looking for salvation
most likely find condemnation.
From the mother's womb is birth
hearths fill with mirth,
but deeper discoveries do abound...
in the darkest spaces where there's no sound.

Buried alive and preserved to stay
the lonely explorer is held at bay.
Do you dare to exhume
what is secretly perfumed?

No signs of being of put under
where gods wrath would hit like thunder...
from the labour carrying blocks
in the name of Kephren all flocked.
If you try to fill your purse
as with the mummy, there follows a curse.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Martin, it seems when someone spends so much time trying to unravel or discover something, the search just basically leaves many off the edge of the Earth, and when you finally claim you have found that amethyst cave, you just go in further because you are curious what is there beyond the darkness and you just seem to get lost! (sad sigh) Why bother trying to search for something when you can just believe in it, I always wonder "Ain't that good enough?", and then if you discover it's not there, then that only discourages you more than ever before! This is excellent, sweet friend, you have my vote, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martin, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

ecrivan, another well done history lesson that leads us to Q's about the future of mankind, as projected through the acts of an individual's quest

Thank you for reposting this for a book submission.

I love the jump and tie of your visuals with underlying wisdom. *check* (smile)

Midnite,

I like how you captured my mind frame as I posted this..and that is so..the "western" quest to 'discover' or re-earth what had already been discovered and laid to rest is usually a prelude to our stirring into other cultures which have had their own seal on life....this parallels the western zeal to dominate whole cultures and "call it" their
own with a total disrespect for the rightful
authors.

Serenity,

You can count on further visual image/startling poetic statement trends on my part. Thanks for your vote.

Ethyl,

There's no sign yet that I'll resort just to common romantic themes. Thanks.
