As above,
So below.
The strangest sight man has ever known:
An eye observing its own reflection.
(With every blink [re]membering flesh and bone)
For You and You only, your twin-flame love awaits,
All the while watching from above (a black hole).
If only You will see(k), then you will (re)cognize the way.
...So the Magician awoke and manifested his soul.
As if the trick were, simply, being awake,
The slight of hand is just this:
Being Here Now as Your consciousness.
...So the Fool below became aware of awareness,
As above he made his pilgrimage home.
Then what can they call the future and past?
The blackest magic for which man can atone.
The pyramids were built neither from recollection,
Nor anticipation of the eventual arrival of aliens,
But by making a point (to be closer to God).
Now, their creators have a more sacred mission:
(Re)viewing the infinite ecstasy of Ancient Heaven.
Like a multitude of ants below coming into Your attention,
The fear of death becomes the joy of death of fearing.
It is then. It is Now,
When You are welcomed back into the Garden.
The brightest part of below is its necessity for division.
Above is the re-union of the Sun with illumination.
An eye blinks naturally, as is the nature of vision.
In that time, I look at my watch. It's eleven : eleven.
...So the Hierophant became (be)wildered by his own reflection.

magick.

well written!
Your alluding to some of the Major Arcana did interest me.

Quite clever...some might say too clever...but they would only add to the satisfaction inherent in this agressive, mysterious, back snapping poem.
The diction tickled the tongue and the ear and the punction made a delightful puzzle of the whole gosh darneded thing.
Blessings,
