Legacy of the Luminous

Wandering the desolate sands (of the past)
to the oceans of my fears?

We can abandon fear, but
We never lose our demons
We just learn to live above them

Listening to the better angels of our nature
Although my fears had mounted against me,

There were many mountains of my own making
And valleys of days without vision
And all of perception is built on falsehoods

I do not wish to cast blame,
But there are houses that crumble
With the slightest tremble of the earth
There are those that have made homes
Of cliffs for centuries

Beings that commune with the stars
Planets that commune with beings
Plants that are messengers from outer space

The Legacy of the luminous dark
Our ancestors were wiser than they knew.

I’m looking at lyricism as coding. I’m looking for an algorithm. I’m looking to streamline ideas and be able to express them in ways that speak to directly to the core and essence of something that we all already know and that we are already connected to.

Good artists copy, Great artists steal the shit out of it
The legends fuck with reality, change the perception


The Glitz, The Grind, and Shine


Get rid of the shit that is covering your shine -
Because I’m about to spit a rhyme

Once in a dream, I asked the ever-present question of our time
“Why can’t we say something deep and have a dope ass beat?”

That’s about the when I ran out of eternal wine
When I had my last bite of this reality sandwich
When I showed up naked to lunch
And argued with Harvey on which one was mine

Reality in fits, bits and tits
We code our reality
Reality codes us

Dreamer of the dream
Hacker of perception
Programmer of inception

The call of the void
Perception is a toy
Everything is null and void

The primal deep nature of the beat of the universe
The soft low hum of the vibration of the consciousness

The eternal luminous darkness
The white light, white heat of everywhen
The unspoken experience of the abyss

My name is nameless
My title is seamless
My experience is emptiness

The felt experience of everything
The impact pulse of consciousness
The motion of sea of possibilities

Shine of the perception
Cleansing of endless everything

The detox of wine of reality
Dining At the table of infinity
Sing the songs of eternity

Get rid of the shit that is covering your shine -
Because I forgot to rhyme

The grit and grind
The wheel of time

Eternity’s palm, holding everything
Infinity never loses glitz and shine
only if you remember to grind

A couple wonderful works on transcendence. Happy to have come across it, satorid:)

Thanks! am glad you came across it =D

Transcendent poetry. The following lines really stood out for me:

We never lose our demons
We just learn to live above them
There were many mountains of my own making
And valleys of days without vision
