Relive ~
Remember ~ Reflect
velvet red glimpses i recall
yet so clear as life's most
beautiful play
seeing with my dreamer's eye
swimming freely in thought
a woman stands in a room that defies time
stark of furnishing ~ yet infinite in space
the edges just b e y o n d . . . . .
a red glow and shadows move
about
not frightening ~ but comforting ~
even
common place
as common as sun peeking through a
window
yet this lights from within
not brightly ~ yet warmly
more a dark mystique
than that of a light's glare
adjusting as she moves from area to
area
she is of youthful slender form
this seeker of wisdom
for the room...s have an aura of
knowledge
about
she goes to a group of various
mirrors
in a slow dance type walk
viewing herself in each
same sleek hair past the
shoulders
pristine features ~ inquisitive
eyes
each time the same ~ yet subtle
enhancements
appear
more mental than the glimmer in the
physical
turning to yet another
asking the mirror ~ herself ~ the
room
"what shall i learn
today"
did her lips move or was it a voice
overlaid
in my mind
she glides to sit at a desk
large sphere upon her left
cube upon her right
a curtain of red glimmer appears
from
nowhere
yet everywhere
as it fades into form
she seats herself at the
desk
neigh. . . it is a vanity in
form
as i feel now my view become that
of the
mirror
the mistress states aloud
" i will
learn.
. . no . . . DO
a little ªðœµµå today"
the word has no grasp within my
memory
yet to her is as algebra to me
needing to be taught
yet knowing the rudiments of the
teaching
questions echo to her aloud from
the room
her fingers quickly respond
touching the
desk
the cube and sphere light softly in
a
variety of ways
a crystalline calculator
assisting as gentle keys of
recall
to deep internal memories
now a more ethical question
foreign to my
memory ~ yet ethical
all the same
agree or not upon some issue of the
time
such as "is one land at war
still a
part of the greater whole of land
at peace"
pondering her head lowers
slightly
finding the "drapery"
behind her
now over her chair
two wrists and hands of red
glitter
tap beside her own ~ awaiting an
answer
young mind wondering the
possibilities
no answer found within the cube and
sphere
looking up ~ a glimmer of
white
light upon an eye
for a moment our eyes meet
through the screen of mirror
touching in her time
as the mistress answers very
hesitantly
"i guess i would have to
agree"
with a sense of BUT WHY in her
voice
knowing the majority would
disagree
except for the teacher
instinctively
replying
"probably because the
statement is true"
the teacher fades momentarily
forming like little spots on a
fuzzed out tv
screen
then unfurls as a mat
behind his very contented pupil
rest befalls her as she almost
floats down
wrapping herself in knowledge
as they
d r e a m
while words of pali or sanskrit
scroll up before my eyes
as to signal an intermission
slowly a piece of film feeds
its last section of colored
frame
through the projector
the dream channel turns to
something so
hum-drum
i awake to black and white of the
"real"
world
recalling the script of that which
was
or is to
be . . . . .
