Rewards: Gold: 400
Final notes:
Thank you everyone! All great entries that all shared something special with me.

The gold-Penman
Your skills as a poet showed here. I thought the finish was a little cheesy but it did work. Your style and take on the third eye got multiple reads. I bow to your wisdom.

The silver-Pisces Rainbow
Poetess, your transcending poem was rich and colorful in mataphor and play. You were that close to the gold. If it had been longer and gone even farther, I would've given it to you. But it earned a silver for getting under my skin.

The bronze-spiritual angel
Good poetry! Its thought I soared with. A piece that I didn't want to let go of.

The Infinite Ecstasy (of Ancient Heaven)

The brightest part of below is its necessity for division.
Above is the re-union of the Sun with illumination.

what is the quality of that moment then?

Like when you jump from an airplane
And you are in the clouds
