The Compass Of Fire

 

Who can decipher the calligraphy of my footsteps?

What ancient magnetism sustains me?

 

I wonder if destiny

is an immutable code,

or an alchemy brewing

in the silence of the soul.

If everything is written,

the world is merely a waiting game.

But my intuition—

that compass of fire—

alerts me with a sigh

that the body sometimes ignores.

How many times has the inner voice

knocked at my door,

only to find us distracted by the noise?

 

The key is not supplication...

...it is listening;

it is halting the chaos

so that order may blossom.

It is allowing the music of my soul to laugh,

letting the dance or the poem vibrate,

cleansing the air of dark omens.

It is I, in the end, who holds the helm—

even as the stars

continue their eternal course.

 

It is I who chooses, and I will not allow

anyone to alter my destiny!

An Instant Captured

 

There is a sacred geography

in the warmth of a sea

in an unknown land.

Destiny is that second

when I found a stone

shaped like a heart.

It was the brush of two souls—

at a mere glance, something burst forth—

and I felt that I could no longer

halt either time or space.

 

The color of a sky that

will never be the same again.

And that strange, certain knowledge

that the world

is too vast

to fit inside a tablet—

yet, it fits entirely within a single heartbeat.

 

My destiny is not a prayer;

it is an encounter—

the necessary embrace between logic

and the unfathomable mystery of the eternal.

Both are banks of the same river,

forces that complement one another to dictate my true north.

 

To meditate within the realm of dreams,

where the spirit is restored.

If destiny attempts to impose

its rigidity...

I answer with the chime

of my own inner music,

of my captured instant.

I remain alert, catching the signals

that the universe whispers.

 

Now my path is proactive,

for my eyes have awakened.

I raise my vibration

until my surroundings are transformed,

turning every symbol, every stone, every archetype

into the architect

of a life more human,

more mystical,

and more truly mine!
