To the Sea: or The Uni-mindA Poem by Wolf_LordThis is about the children of the Sea... descendants of Lilith and the descendants of Eve, the Land-bound. Together the two sides make up the Uni-mind which some believe is the incarnation of God.To The Sea: The Uni-mind
Un-human voices call throughout The myriad waves, the domains of the sea A wispy kernel of fog does now well out A rising nebulous scentless viscosity To lock the land with ethereal glee To me, to me, do the voices cry
An eerie echo throughout the cities
On every continent; in every country The fog is felt and heard and seen In every language of all the people The call is now resounding forth Imploring, all of the lost children To a sacred meeting upon the shores
The shores of every ocean and sea
Do you see their confusion; their expression? As the children called; do make their way Seeking out the living waters source Traveling unseeing both night and day Looking neither right nor left Needing neither food nor water
Their only need to reach the shore
None can stop them nor bar their path Neither friend, nor lover, nor even father People peer from door and from window Fearfully watching the throngs go by Lining the streets to watch the progression Shouting obscenities, or heaving a sigh
For none of them do they understand
Because they are not among those called A fact of which they are very aware That to follow would mean their death Something none of them would dare Dare the wrath of the King of the Seas Calling now his children; to his Lair
The call of the sea resounds through the Air
Ah, pity the poor uncalled people Knowing mostly that something is lost A son, a daughter, a friend, a lover Even a parent is part of the cost The world as a whole begins to panic Realizing that half their number is gone
Gone to the sea; gone to the shore
They say: Society as we know it Will break down now before too long For the throngs pass by no longer Just a scattered few now and then The land locked people all a tremble Suspecting soon will come the end
What that end will be; nobody knows
Perhaps the end of all existence Some say the end of all creation Yet strangely, underlining all of it Is a building core of pure elation Maybe this is not completely bad Perhaps some good could come
After all some good had come already
I heard one man say to another Myself I have now inherited The mansion of my brother Yet it was more than that indeed For the uncalled did group together All the wars were now ended
For what use war if all existence end
The economy was getting better So it seemed to ebb and swell As the uncalled looked around With the dawning of realization Of something lost; something found Something which sparkled in the air
Like a woman’s hair now unbound
Part II: Children of the Sea
Thus go us back to the Sea Back to the Sea; back to the Sea Whereupon the living waters shore The poor lost children now are free Come to themselves the compulsion lost Upon their arrival their minds now clear
Clarity never before suspected
Freedom of mind; freedom from fear None of them have eaten nor drank Yet find that they have not a care For the radiance now surrounding them Seems to feed them from the very air The barriers that had once existed
Between nation, country, even race
Have been wiped out of existence On their arriving in this Holy Place Language has now all become one A lost dialect belonging to the Ancients A gift given to the returning children For but a moments mental patience
A feeling of elation is now building
Upon the shore; throughout the land As the fog that layered all the world Is swept up now by unseen hands The sun now shines upon the earth Like the center of the universe Seemingly from all directions
From this sun; no shadows given birth
Directly overhead does it now hang Looking straight at it gives no pain A benevolent Creature of the ancients Falling upon their faces like gentle rain Then the Seas now begin to boil As a God throws off his sodden cloak
A cloak made of the living waters
The living worlds turning spoke Neptune shines with untold glory His visage crowned with healing light His lips form the promise of a welcome An ending to his children’s plight His voice resounds throughout the world
Composed of both vision; and his sight
It is a voice booming with compassion Underlined with passion of his might The Earth trembles to its reverberation Yet inspires confidence instead of fright Where before there had been the separation Came together a mighty commingled shout
With the forming of the Uni-mind
Part III: The Uni-Mind
Imagine being a single drop of water Swept around by a storms great fury Until suddenly the waters do mix And your singleness forever buried Within a vast pool composed of knowledge Of all that ever has; or ever will exist
And now you are a part of it
From the formlessness of chaos To the forming of the spatial mist The experience of all people lived To the knowledge of all whom died From all the people upon the Earth To an Ancient God; now do give birth
The Uni-Mind is once more Born
The other Ancient Gods bow or curtsy Appearing before us at our behest Called from the catacombs of time In whose womb they did rest Do they now once again swear fealty The lesser and the child Gods
Go down now upon one knee
And We Speak
“It has been long?” we say to the Ancient Gods “Surely my children you are well received You could have left us to destroy myself Surely none of would have been grieved We were bent then upon our destruction Each cell of We turned upon the other
And the Earth to suffer destruction
The body of the Goddess Gaia Like the Body of us was made to suffer Even the very air did we poison The living waters which gave us birth The soil from which we were created Evan our mind that gave us worth
Yes my children; it would not have been long
Foretold the Eve of all our own destruction Except that you brought us again together So my children I know now you are lonely The Ancient Gods now learned something That without us and our human affairs Within the universe; there still is nothing
To compare to Us; The Uni-mind
The Ancient Gods of old wept and laughed Some of them managing to do both at once Then exploding into an orgy of merriment They capered like children just having fun For their creator had once more accepted them Their banisher now did bade them come home
No longer among the lifeless stars of space
Where we had banished them for arrogance Forever lonely would they have to roam in time Yet the sins that forced them away; were forgiven As were all their past deeds and haughty actions Their creator in making them rescue the earth Had taught to them the meaning of compassion
That Creator: It was We
We search now our mind; for that which went wrong Thousands of years in a moment and we now understand For half of the mind was born of the sea The other half of the mind was born of the land Woe to lost causes; to Atlantis which sank For that then was the true beginning of the end
When the land folk rose in arms against the sea
It was a battle which truly neither could thus win Yet the sea folk retreated and soon were no more With the passing of their ilk half the mind was dead Yet did the children of Lilith still thus survive And they too were children born of the Sea Yet they knew not what made them different
They were the folk of Earth who were creative
So creative it was hard to figure what to be Until they numbered enough to be separate again Till the Ancient Gods of old put in their hand For the loneliness of Gods can we be blessed For now they have come to the rescue of man And we are returned to ourselves
We are one: We are the Uni-mind
Yet not all of us are free to return For it takes many to keep our mind open Millions of us flow in and out at will Yet not a word is ever spoken For everything you know is shared The moment that you step in
Your answers are all now questioned
Your question are all answered then A pool of knowledge that is so vast It encompasses the making of the stars From the composition of a single quark To the forming of the planet Mars
Ah, do we now have another chance
A chance to start over To heal our world To love and cherish To revere life itself To rebuild what was lost To return to the sea
Welcome to the Uni-mind
