Heracleitus
I dived into the ether lake
and saw a golden name
"Heraclites"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If happiness was found in carnal pleasures
we would consider the cows as happiest
because they always eat what they like
If everything was transformed into smoke
our nostrils would be our new eyes
Connections, everything and not everything
Things that come along
Things that do not come along
things that match
Things that do not match
from everything the one
and from the one comes everything
Dionysus and Hades are the same
Death and Rebirth, become the same
If you never hope
you'll never find
the unexpected
the unexplored
the perpetual
Death is birth.
Man lights on a small candle in the night to honor
his dead self when his visual senses will collapse
When he is asleep
he touches death
having his eyes closed
and when he is awake
he touches sleep
having his eyes open.
From fire has all begun
then transformed to water, sea
Half of the water turns to soil, earth
and the other half turns to wind, air.
The unwise,
even after they have listened
seem like deaf
present absent they shall be called
Only one thing is wise
to know the thinking
though which everything
is ruled and measured
Everything is ruled through Thunder
The idiot one likes to get in trance
no matter what words he listens
The King of Delphi
does not say
does not hide
he just means
Ethics are man's true God
For those who hide barbarian souls
their eyes and ears are evil witnesses
And I heard the words of the King
He does not tell,
He does not hide,
He just means and gives riddles to us all
to solve, and fend away
the pain of miser we hide inside
And the ether flew
and I went through
Woke up in sweat
I spoke to God
Burn me on a stick!
