A NEARBY PLACE

Atavistic echoes
of youthful beliefs
sail through instinct
and strike the chest
of the adult.

There are direct paths
to opposite endings,
to the hymn of angels
or the hiss of serpents,
and one chooses.

Upon the hidden altar
of the spiritual temple,
the sleeping soul
awakens to the calling
of ecstasy.

Yet a burning lava
of sensual currents
stirs desire
with a hunger for
worldly experiences.

The compass of the ego
turns and turns without north,
through the mad magnetism
of mental
contradiction.

And, in a nearby place,
a sublime landscape
awaits the arrival
of the soul, at last,
to make it happy.
