Ethereal mists obscure otherworldly realm
Phantasmagoric wonders enveloped in heavenly peaks
Celestial rays scintillate fantastical palaces
Godlike beings reap arcane knowledge
Omnipresent
Prelapsarian aura
Immortality
Ageless demigods
Cornucopia
Boundless sustenance
Blissful
Harmony eternal
Entities within realms eternally seeking
Angelic essence
eternally beckoning
Calling forth
Wandering minds
Bodily deification transcendental journey
Receding walls of unreality
Wondrous verdant valleys
Ascetics roam enlightened
Samsara entanglement no more
Gazing in glowing awe
Through translucent ceilings
Astral destinies brought forth
To beaming visages
Nebulae shimmer serenely
Primordial illumination immemorial
Obscuring fruitful solar beams
Shimmering upon planetarium
The multiverse
Metamorphosis
Altered senses
Expanded conscious
Mind over matter
Unparalleled all encompassing
Benevolence the law of the land
Impermanent worldly strictures
Bygone trivialities forgotten
Radiant silent beauty

Crimson Red Talas River

|

Struggle for dominance over lands afar
Hardened souls trudge forwards for glory
Fate of the steppes
Whims of ancient forces
Shapeshifting polities
Crimson Red Talas River
Confluence of the diametrically opposed
Capricious spirits gazing indifferently
Trifling belligerence inconsequential
Stabbed in the back
Outnumbered and surrounded
Traitorous butchery
Close quarter engagement
Vicious and brutal
Thunderous
Skies filled with malice
Menacing
Winds of annihilation
Retreating dynastic army
General reproaches
Covering maneuvers
Infliction of misery
Pursuing foes halted
Regrouped soldiers
Overflowing river of blood
Desolating mists
Feasting on warriors
Gullets engorged
Pestilential feeding frenzy
Contentment of carrion feeders
Skeletal remains
Forgotten heroics
Within abominations
Lies sacrificial tales
Lying dormant
Awaiting veneration
Spinning tales of glory

Dreams of the west
India beckoning forth
Commencement of trek
Through lands unknown
Horseback journey
Over scorched sands
Across towering peaks
Mountains enflamed
Westernmost temples
Made known to eastern ways
Glimpses of Bamiyan
Sacred artisanal wonders
Tireless wayfarer
Archiving orthodox
Searching for truths
Ever elusive
Venerated
Sage
Cascading azure
Ornately grown
Omniscient
Master
Visionary predictions
Harbringer of enlightenment
Bestowing
Profound
Metaphysical idealism
Ultimate revelation
Eastward
Expansion
Eternally assured
Onward homeward

Infinite multiverse
Oozing bubbling expanse
Primordial timelessness
Atavistic impulses reign
Supreme nirmanakaya
Atop Mount Meru
Total mastery
Entire World system
Inversion of physical reality
Crystal ruby escarpments
Shimmering endless seas
Glimmering endless skies
Lands
Swollen

Human sufferings

Afloat the universes gracefully roam
Suspended amongst cosmic fabric
Fleeting existences
Fickle astral ways
Pulverized matter
Inevitable regeneration
Reborn infantile entity swells
Deities descend upon pristine realm
Materialization

Trayastrimsa
04:28
|
|||
Heavenly plain scraping the skies at heights
Beyond man’s wildest visions
Hovering above Mount Meru
Within wispy swirling ivory masses
Billows of clouds populate structural landscape
Towering ancient beings saunter for many eons
Ruled over by Sakra charioteer chief of the devas
Matali grips the golden reins bound to backs of horses
Woes of humans incessantly perturb wise ones
Lascivious Asura demigods
Cast down Mount Meru slopes
Watery wallowing at mountain edge
Eternally warring with Trayastrimsa
Forever desiring their former throne
Deviously masterminding pathways
Gazing up enviously at devas above

Unreal Visions
05:42
|
|||
Gnarled hands raised in jubilation
Ingestion of blessed libations
Somber silhouettes pulsate
Liturgical fumes intoxicating disciples
Disembodied incantations
Reverberate chamber
Sensory anomalies manifesting
Shimmering pale blue dot
Vanishing from view
Swallowed by airless voids
And glimmering stars...
Globular cluster approaching
Epicenter of galactic brilliance
Expanding mass of light
Gives way to blackness...
Witnesses to a great devouring
Entering the point of no return
Fleeting event horizon visions
Flash before wild eyes
Hazy images of future deeds
Forgotten memories dormant no more
Engaging serene apparitions
