calm and beautiful
is a movie of the I
— watching the watching
muddy and troubled
is a mind confused with I
— fear of being lost
a lost perception
is regained with memory
— one moment away
quiet and silent
is the act of seeing it
— one process, just one
a life as a play
is seen by an empty mind
— movie director
I, the poet,
a wizard,
shall define
my craft:
(Chapter One)
What is this ?
These words
that I'm writing,
what are they ?
What is
their meaning ?
What are they
describing ?
Where are they
coming from ?
(Chapter Two)
Voices and symbols.
Images.
Thoughts.
Spells.
One might call them
as one wishes.
But is one aware
of them ?
Or is one
one with them ?
Can the distinction
be made
and seen ?
Can one see
beyond one's
five senses ?
Can one notice
the subtle
movement
of life ?
(Chapter Three)
There is sadness,
grief,
struggle,
fight,
anger,
pain,
suffering,
fear,
oh yes, fear,
conflict
in one's mind.
And one's mind
is everyone's mind.
One mind.
One can accept
or one can refuse
to look at
oneself.
Psychological battle
between
one's self
and
one's life.
(Chapter Four)
What is
this energy
that is felt,
that is power,
that is joy,
that is left
inside
one's being ?
What is the energy
that is present
when one has
no more energy
to live
or do
anything ?
What is the energy
that brings
enjoyment
in the torrent
of depression ?
(Chapter Five)
Importance,
this mighty word,
is the difference
between
what one does
and
what one does not.
Importance
is the difference
between
what the world is
and
what the world is not.
It makes
all the difference
to see
the importance
of giving
importance.
(Chapter Six)
What is the role
of a poet ?
What is
that world
in which
the poet
will have
his role ?
Is it simple ?
Is the world
simple ?
Is it easy ?
Is the world
easy ?
Simple and easy...
such weird words
to describe
a world.
Why do we
see it
this way ?
Why do we
fail
to comprehend
the complexity
and austerity
of
what we call
world ?
Is it
that one
intentionally
ignores
what one
does not like
seeing ?
Is it
pain
and fear
of pain
that one
tries
to avoid ?
So what is
the role
of a poet ?
(Chapter Seven)
Stories...
As long as
one remembers
there are stories.
All one remembers
are stories.
Stories and characters...
inextricably linked.
What is the story
one tells
of oneself ?
What is the character
one plays
in one's life ?
Is it
the hero ?
Is
it
the
HERO ?
Then what is
one's life ?
(Chapter Eight)
The joy
of being.
The joy
of being.
BEING !
Does one feel
that joy ?
Or is one
caught
in routine,
in monotony,
in repeating
one's days,
one's years,
one's life choices ?
Does one
love
the world ?
Or does one
ignore it ?
Does one
love
one's life ?
Or does one
ignore it ?
One shall
BE
the hero
of one's story,
a story of beauty,
beauty
of living.
(Chapter Nine)
Words...
Symbols...
Spells...
spoken
by voices
inside
one's mind.
Thoughts.
One can listen.
They enchant
one's life.
They create
one's life.
Can one
see them ?
Can one
choose them ?
Fear...
of making
the wrong
choices.
Learning
and growing...
making
the right
choices.
One can choose
the spells
one uses
on oneself.
Lets choose
wisely !
(Chapter Ten)
That energy
of being,
of oneness,
of nothingness...
Can one
feel it ?
Can one
die
one moment
and be reborn
the next moment ?
Can one gather
energy
out of nothing ?
Can one feel
the exuberance
hidden
in the space
between things ?
If one does,
what is one
afraid of ?
Can one be
a hero
beyond time ?
One shall be
such a hero.
(Chapter Eleven)
We need
better spells.
We need
better stories.
We need
to create
beauty.
Better armors.
Better weapons.
Better warriors.
Better emotions.
We need
to fight
better.
Better wizards.
Better solutions
for a better
world.
Lets enjoy
the battle
between
old
and
new !
Lets enjoy
being !
(Chapter Twelve)
So...
what is
the role
of a poet
in a world
of magic ?
Someone has to
write
the spells,
don't they ?
Symbols
of life,
of growth,
of learning,
of healing,
of being.
Symbols
of one
and all of us,
the whole
humanity.
One epic
battle
of transcendence.
One story
of beauty,
one poetry.
Whole
Epic
Poetry.
Wholepicoetry.
Lets begin !
If you knew
how powerful
the word is,
you would be
more careful.
You are
playing
with fire,
a fire
that burns
beyond time.
It feels
so unreal,
yet,
so true,
so subtle,
yet,
so obvious.
The magic
is real !
Misunderstood.
What is meaning ?
Answer !
And watch your answer screaming:
Incomplete !
But take a seat !
And try to complete
that answer !
What is meaning ?
What is it pointing to ?
Every action that you do.
Every moment that you face.
Every object, single space.
Every other, single you.
What is it pointing to ?
Could it be... ?
Could everything signify...
Me ?
But what is me ?
Or what is I ?
What is the eye
that can see ?
Is it me ?
Could it be... ?
Me ?
The it plays the I.
Oh! Marvelous acting !
It starts with a lie.
A play of reacting
to myself.
I am. I want. I do.
Is it right ? Is it me ?
Two perspectives. Both true.
I see and I agree
with myself.
Distinction from the whole.
Signify me, my world !
The I must have this role.
Life will grow and unfold
out of myself.
Many levels of thought.
All signifiers, I see !
One makes sense, one does not.
It is all about me
and myself.
We, the I, are the world.
Perfect as it is,
in full complexity,
from all its degrees,
with same intensity
our world emerges.
Lacking the power,
as naively desired,
while perceived as sour,
with all limits required
our life emerges.
And here we are !
And here I am !
I see ourselves as everything else.
We think of myself as nothing else.
How true I both are !
From different levels, different dimensions,
from different minds and different perceptions,
we, I, see the world...
But what do we see ?
Do I see thought, do I see emotion ?
Do I see senses, or the full motion
of my whole perception ?
Do I see its direction ?
We, the I, can die.
I, as we, will not.
There is no trace of doubt
the finite will die.
The question is about
who, what is the I.
Body, soul, perception.
Infinite intention
of being.
Am I not ?
Matter or energy.
Spirit or memory.
Process or nobody.
Or pure infinity.
Every thought and every feeling.
Everything that is revealing.
Everything that will be not.
Everything that we forgot.
Every thing.
In the end,
one question will remain:
What is our intention ?
What will I contain ?
There I see
my world.
There I see
my self.
One and the same.
My life. My game.
I shall play
one way,
my way,
with intention.
What is my intention ?
What do I want to see ?
In my world, what kind of me,
with intention, should I be ?
Is it a me of destruction ?
Or is it a me of creation ?
My world, my stage, has set.
My role, my life, has yet
to be played,
with intention.
Do I not fear death ?
On my last breath...
What is that which dies ?
The me or the world ?
What should I believe ?
The me or the world ?
It's a game of perception.
My world. My intention.
My life. My direction.
I am the world.
We walk together.
Now and forever.
