Svensson: Temple and Tree (poem)


Hereby a poem, summing up the current being of its author, Lennart Svensson.




I am temple and tree,
the guru in the garden --


a golden guru going south,
a hat-clad don Juan,
Merlin the Magician --


a golden river flowing south,
arcane, hyaline, melting
the glacier of nihilism.


I am Martian Messiah,
Pleiadean Preacher --


"glowing God of Mars,
body burning bright" --


riding on the wind,
guided by the immemorial
voice of a myth --


teaching, preaching,
dreaming, scheming.


I am myth, math and metaphor,
the alchemy of time and
consciousness.


I am movement as a state
of mind: MAASOM.


I am a creative Self in
an ever-present Now.
