Year: 2010
Medium: Ink on Paper






Note: An Invocation to the Spirit of the Ancient Mother (part II)/Fish-Angel

Fish-angel’s eyes can dream and see
The world without the paintbrush and its strokes
The bare thread of life’s tragedy, the gloss and the glee
The comedy of its vanishing ideal, the empty mirror of its self
It looks through them and dissects every finite existence
Sees the role of time and the dimension of its space
The knowledge in the void, the cavity in the rocks
The meek surrender to the dissembled forces and strength
And the pride and the anguish and the terror and the pain
All these can change with the god-light is near
When the angel flashes her great golden beam
Sunlight and shadows though they sideways exist
Eternity merges the seer-light and the sea
Then from the fire is born the first miraculous fish
A precarious emblem of the sun-task and resurrection
An originator of the spiritual bliss
The food that supports the sustainability and growth
To her we pray to configure our lives.
