Immortal Oracles

Poem By Lan Xin (Lanxin Samei)

Humankind wanders through wild woods of spiritual mist

Countless souls sink into primordial chaos

Lost and fallen in the ignorance of greed, anger and delusion

Clouded inner eyes fail to behold the true nature of the heavens and earth

Beloved humankind

Do not linger in the net alone

The golden lotus has grown in the depths of the soul

Petal tips gather light from higher dimensions

Resolutely piercing layers of confusion

Awakening slowly in the midst of chaos

The Dongba priest blows the white conch

Its call pierces layers of cloud and mist

Rushing straight to the gates of the thirteenth heavens

Carrying ancient signals

knocking at the roots of the universe

Awakening the soul of civilization sleeping in the cave of signatures

The golden phoenix soars across the sky

Its clear cry scatters the dark haze of the sky

Feathers shake off sparks of starlight

Prometheus’ fire

Gently plucked by the clear wind of the sacred mountain

Falling on the snow line of Mount Kailash

Scattered across the vast Martian soil

Above the Möbius strip

Time breaks free from the closed loop of bondage

The shadow of the Himalayas steps through a thousand years of solitude

Cradling the lingering echo of snowland chants

Passing them to the Pleiades stars

The wisdom of Sirius, following the strings of the cosmic lyre

Flows into the hidden realms of Nubia

Medusa’s gaze

No longer a curse of stone

But a clear mirror that sees through all illusion

The all-seeing eye

Looking down on the mortal world from the high-dimensional sky

Witnessing the sleeping mind slowly waking to new life

This is not the final chapter of the decay of oracles

But the opening stanza of the soul’s awakening

When all high-dimensional imprints resonate in harmony

When the sparks of world civilizations merge once more

The long-slumbering mind

Will finally hear

— The oracles that once fell

Engraved by the universe for the Earth

— An echo of light.
