eclipse Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Hunting for an elusive enigmatic dream I built an inner sphinx that dreamt for me, in the dream I glimpsed the deft creators scheme and caught the coin spinning perpetually that he tossed into the darkness. I made still the waters of time, the sphinx chose tears carefully, weeping for war, tears not displayed where those for the poor, the disappearing children. I pulled coins out of time's waters, each had a face of the dispossessed, the last coin imprinted with I and the creator. I buried my haul in the garden, trees of many fruits grew, the sphinx wore a thorny crown, a new type of fruit from hidden tears grown.

dcmarti1 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I pulled coins out of time's waters, each had a face of the dispossessed, Supremely mystical. AND very liberation-theology. I am simply amazed at this construct: an inner sphinx that dreamt for me Completely unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Well framed piece with an unusual analogy of the sphinx. I believe the Egyptian ones were philanthropic but the Greek ones rather nasty.. Curiously interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
