A collection of 27 philosophical poems from Johnathan Abraham Antelept.
THE CRYSTAL IN THE BURNING GARDEN is oneness. It is synthesis of the disparate. It is creation from the wellspring, through will and pure vision. It is rising from what was debilitating. It is seeing new horizons standing risen on mountains. On the contrary, but not in contradiction, it is the digging through deepest depths in search of the crystal: the prism of perspective. It is the balm for burning gardens, as the Earth is in need. THE CRYSTAL IN THE BURNING GARDEN is about discovery, wisdom, revelation and consciousness. It is revolution, passion, love and camaraderie. It is lineage and birth, inheritance and legacy. It is the respect for Mother Earth and the compassion for all things. It is concerned with the Western industrialized obfuscation of spirit. Now is the most pivotal moment in human history. THE CRYSTAL IN THE BURNING GARDEN is aware.
Sample Poem:
E-Merging
Retrieving crystalline like birthing Caesar,
Realizing inner season
Blooming like acacia flower...
Polish it for progeny
To yield like father's fore,
Though with angles unaccustomed...
Calling to crumble customs
With its multisyllabic oneness,
Or stuttering Om in consternation?
Came upon conundrums...
Why do they attempt to break us?
Let us merge again
Like Renaissance men,
Holistic and articulate...
Why divide us like compartments? Less,
Cogs in wheeling whirring screeching!
Give me moment to reflect, and fuse,
Combining what they said was different...
Breath of life aflame and fluid,
Driving up from welling springs,
Rising up from crystal visions 'vescing,
Everlasting Everest,
Surveying revolutions...
Terrain of Earth competing,
Butting, reaching for position,
Yellow eyed wolverines rabid for a taste of meat
Waiting for a weakness,
Slip...and giblets are for barbecue.
But do they see the mission?
Is it the eagle overarching
With the broadest stretching vision?
Or the crystal in the garden come from deep beneath the foliage?
