What Zecharia said here reminded me of a poem written by a young 'wanderer' who said the words came effortlessly, almost like a channeling. It reads as childlike verse about the awakening of love and loss, but is full of yin/yang, duality/oneness symbolism. I find a glimmer of '2012 hope' in the melancholy end. Note the first two lines and the last two lines.
Last night I dreamt a déjà vu
Of a land where one is two
And as I drifted thru the fog
Of fantasy, I found a log
To sit upon and rest the feet
That carried on thru thickest sleet.
And as I closed my eyes to rest
My tiredness turned into zest
And up I looked and saw the leaves
Swinging with the autumn breeze
The cold had gone, the sunshine grew
The sleet had turned to morning dew
The birds all sang; the earth grew warm
And now I had no feet, no form
Except that I had on a gown
More soft than any feather down
O how the fragrance twinkled on
Like colors of the sky at dawn
And all I knew was to expand
Explore, live out and understand
Yet was I anywhere at all
That could compare to what I call
The Mother Earth I could not find
A child at birth and left behind
Woe was I, yet happy too
My loneliness made clouds turn blue
All I wanted was a friend
Someone to share with and pretend
A startling sound my attention took
I did not hesitate to look
A knight before me I saw seeing
Handsome to my eyes and being
As I grew brave and drew in nearer
I saw my face inside a mirror
He was wearing on his chest
And silver armor made his vest.
As I looked up into observing eyes,
I saw a great surprise
At first I had looked into ice
And now I’d seen the same thing twice
Though warmer was the second time
His eyes the echo of a rhyme
Sagittarius by name was he
A knight as brave as brave could be
His steed was a white stallion horse
One guided by an unseen force
Upon his vest he wore a badge
The token seal of every ‘Sag’:
Half man half horse; that’s what they are
Traversing through Pleiades’ star
He spoke, “Dear lady Gemini,”
My opposition in the sky,
Hop on your horse and we shall see
What happens when we are set free -
Free to love, and free to fight
The egos choose when there is no light.”
“Alas,” I said, “My horse is black,
And a suit of armor I do lack.”
Just then I saw a dovelike bird
Alighting near, and this I heard:
“Opposing forces do not duel
Nor is polarity so cruel,
Illusion’s what you choose to see
In a world of duality.”
And off the man and horse did wander
Separateness was mine to ponder
Longing for the time to come
When dreamers wake, and two are one.
