Dreaming of
That face again
It's bright and blue
And shimmering
Grinning wide
And comforting me with it's three warm and wild eyes
On my back
And tumbling
Down that hole
And back again
Rising up
And wiping the webs and the dew from my withered eye
In
Out
In
Out
A child's rhyme stuck in my head
It said that life is but a dream
I've spent so many years in question
To find I've known this all along

Guenon, St Anthony the Great, St Ephrem the Syrian

>In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.
So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round;
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
