At the water hole
 I bring cupped hands
 to my lips and drink
 of the collective soul.
I look into the sky
 and wonder who am I.
 I feel the pounding
 of my heartbeat come alive.
 Suddenly. Inspiration strikes 
 like lightning...
 Moments rise,
 and fall like empires.
 Then the thunder settles in.
 In clouds
 on the big screen
 archetype dream
 from the archives of time.
 Ocean womb, nourishing
 oceanic child. 
 Heartbeat pulsing.
 Tremor disrupts.
 Panic.
 Earthquake.
 All at once
 a thousand dreams pass by
 of a wounded outcast
 trapped in a tunnel.
 Choking.
 There's a struggle to escape
 a struggle to be born.
 Contraction. Expulsion.
 Swallowed
 like snakes' prey
 toward the edge.
 Contraction. Expulsion.
 Volcanic eruption,
 bursting sparks, ash and dust
 exploding 
 elements of creation.
 Demons and angels hum
 an incessant drone 
 in binaural octaves
 that build ascending
 pounding
 into a primal scream
 that tears across Eternity
 like a light beam...
 millions of bubbles
 distilled from consciousness
 bubble up from a crack.
 Each an entire life's journey
 a journey of the heart and
 of the wound.
 Every brother, every sister
 emerge, purged, from the abyss
 and collect into a Pearl...
 where sky opens 
 revealing 
 mysterious light
 infused with All Intent
 in the shape of a Great Eagle...
 it swoops down and swallows the Pearl.
