The Sword

Forged in Cosmic Light
bent and doubled
pounded and aligned
a blade is formed
straight and true
Cosmic sword
of justice
calls
in this
moment
to
redeem
the
tenor
of what
it means
to live
to breath
to exist
in this
sphere.

Limited in our musings
delight we have lost
touch with Greater
Ones
who watch
and wait
for the
revealing
of a soul
who is
pure
to that which
without we
could not exist
who
remembers
the script
written
so
long
ago.

Well, this is a deep subject--

I should really like to know the person who wrote this. In your view, what is the Cosmic sword of justice? and what is the script written so long ago? The concept of duality you wrote about in your profile really fascinates me. In my case, which I feel is similar, I call it a split personality, or my dichotomous life. Yours, Deelilah

Thank you for your questions

Dear Deelilah, Thank you for asking these questions, it is helpful for me to try and clarify what I was looking to express in this poem. I had two things going on in my mind when I wrote this. In answer to what I perceive as the Cosmic sword of justice - I am referring to a sword of truth so perfectly forged that it cuts through all delusion. It was also in my mind that a person that is forged in the Cosmic light is is able to comprehend and penetrate deeper into creation. The script written so long ago is our destiny which includes our beginning and our final transformation. I know this is a pretty deep poem and I don't know if I actually captured the fullness of what I wanted. I am genuinely grateful for your comments and questions. I look forward to hearing from you again. Respectfully, Kristeta

Lady von Popper,

magical write, especially the beginning. I stumbled on "to that which without we" because I didn't know where to place the "we". it clears up after a few reads but do consider placing it in a different line, just for the confused people, such as I. have you also lost toch with the Greater Ones, Kristeta? this is fascinating and leaves a lot of questions behind, just like Deelilah stated in the comment above, I would love to find out more... your Proprietress

So nice to hear from The Proprietress again!

Dear Proprietress, I was just beginning to wonder where you were, so nice to hear from you again. I will take a new look at the order of the lines, it doesn't fill quite right to me either. I believe that the intent of this poem was to leave some questions in the reader's mind, glad it does. Dear lady, I do feel I have lost touch with the Greater Ones, perhaps one day I will be able to expand on that more. I, too, am curious about you and the lady behind the name. With all due respect, Kristeta

Hello again, Kristeta

Hi, I hope you are out there somewhere. I haven't talked to you in a few weeks. While I wonder if it's not too late these lines speak mountains of truth: 'Cosmic sword of justice calls in this moment to redeem the tenor of what it means to live to breath to exist in this sphere.' Maybe in the next lifetime. Send us more insights like this. Yours, Deelilah P.S. Your name is delightful and so are your shoes.

Thanks Deelilah

My hope is that there are those who know and in strength grow. Time is like the coils of a watch expanding while we stubbornly try to fix ourselves in place. Sorry if I seem morose, but I wonder what we will find in another lifetime. Your comments are much appreciated as I try to find my way through my words. Sincerely always, Kristeta

Hello Kristeta

I find the older I get, the less strength I have, the more I rely on what will be found in another lifetime, sort of like you say: trying to not stubbornly fix myself in place, which is something I do to the point of exhaustion. I do believe there is a dimension beyond time. Time is a master from which I shall be greatly relieved to be free. Further, I believe we drag into the next lifetime the emotional and intellectual baggage we cling to here--so on that score, I'm trying, not always with success, to be content and happy in this lifetime. Your friend, Deelilah

Dear Deelilah

I find great comfort in your words and depth of comprehension. I share such a longing to be free from what we carry with us. I see in your picture a great deal of contentment, it would be nice to meet you one day soon. Kristeta
