Music:Poetic AlchemyWe listen to the laughter of children to recall joy in its purest state. You could never tell a child a dandelion is not a flower. Ever notice how the very small and terminally ill are the most adept at living? They leave tomorrow to the mystics. We begin a pilgrimage towards metamorphosis. Pollinated deep yet faint in the subconscious are visions beyond the mundane. Maps that lead between the living and the dead leave paper trails for both sides to follow. Change must be swift when certain. So we’ve stopped pacing softly and speaking lightly. When we begin to believe in ourselves, we begin to believe in a higher power. Our lives become a glass-spun sonnet, written across the universe as a manifesto. Each race and religion are chapters in the Book of Humanity, and we are its pages. We are poetic alchemy. Copyright 2007 by D’lyla K. Ravyn and 5th House Press Excerpt from “Poets & Alchemists.” |

Movies:Archaic LanternThe Vintage Spirit carries through the Ages, memoirs of previous vitality. The knowledge that life does not begin in the uterus. It begins eons away, beyond the extensions of speculation. The vessel is forgetful but the life force recalls each existence as a passing hour, a quiet glance, a psychic fingerprint upon glass. Each transition ignites the archaic lantern. The cerebral cortex unleashes its silver cord. Unwinding a suspension of consciousness, inside the time capsule of amniotic fluid. Isolated infants of creation, they choose amnesia over the correlation between binary stars and flowers in June. The odyssey is more significant than the destination. Juniper filled the sweat lodge, as the Sage spoke Tales of Tribal Genesis and how the only sacrament is that of aboriginal love. Each birth is but a wrinkle in time. Copyright 2007 by D’lyla K. Ravyn and 5th House Press Excerpt from “Urban Life Through Ancient Eyes.” |
