It was all written in smoke <br>before you came. And these words that are saying me here <br>have been out of the aviary of the lantern for light years.<br>Who knows where the light goes or what if falls upon? <br>Trying to shine in a dark time without taking anything away <br>from the lunar eclipses that aren't in need of enlightenment. <br>Don't know if I'm a solar flare, a firefly, a matchbook, <br>or a lightning bolt that keeps stressing my starmud out<br>by sneaking up on it from behind and overdoing things a bit.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">If you find yourself trying to pry the flowers open <br>with a crowbar or a koan, and it's nightfall, it's <br>time to turn your hourglass in for a waterclock<br>and see how the stars emerge out of nothing<br>as soon as you deepen the dark with a more acute sense of timing<br>that let's everything happen spontaneously by itself. <br>Even if you're the lighthouse of your dreams <br>that doesn't mean you're the nightwatchman<br>keeping his third eye on you in the shadows <br>like a theft of fire you can get away with <br>this second time around with only a warning.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">If you can't do the time, don't do the crime. <br>And if you did, whining about it in your sleep <br>isn't going to help and who's Spartan enough these days <br>to stash the fox under their tunic to keep <br>from being caught while it eats them alive? <br>If you want to be a dragon you've got to learn <br>to swallow people's hearts like hot coals as if they were chocolates, <br>without wincing. The stars don't come out <br>like emergency candles you've been saving <br>for exactly this kind of situation. And if <br>you really want to know the truth about illumination, <br>try and blow one out. Quick, now, look <br>and see immediately into the clear light of the void <br>what it's like to shine without a metaphoric reflection. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">The stars here don't hide their nakedness under a cloak <br>of black holes and dwarfs that take it all in <br>but give nothing back like the second hand clothes<br>of serpents shedding their skin. One size fits all <br>like a bubble in a watershed of dark worlds <br>dazzled by how much a single eye can contain <br>whether it's hanging from the lip of a flower in the fall <br>or going down the drain in spring. I know <br>you hit it like a snowflake on a furnace <br>and do your damnedest not to cry. Thing is <br>as unique among billions as you think you are, <br>there's not a star in the sky that isn't a rite of passage.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Patrick+White">Patrick White</a><div class=q>
