Dweller Of Eternity Poem by Mystic Qalandar

Beyond the Beyond

I lie anchored, still, within the amber vessel—
but look past the shimmering veil.

In the dark well of the night of secrets,
where the lamp's stillness descends,
where light bends back to bow to its own source—
there is my dwelling, beyond time and decay.

I am bound to the axis of the world.
I am clarity itself, an unbroken current,
joined to the Covenant of Alast
on the thread of immortality.

No dust of decline settles upon me,
no cloud of annihilation.
Before the wave dissolves,
the sun still burns bright in my gaze—
that silent flame
which does not bow before time's consumption.
That is my strength.
That is my enduring identity,
apart from mortal sorrow,
separate from the soul's grief.

This stillness, which I claimed
even before remembrance itself,
is the silent fusion of soul and will—
a house of light
where no star of despair finds a shore,
and every mark inscribed on the dust of the body
fades away in its own radiance.

I have shattered the alchemist's mirror.
Now no bitterness
can turn the honey of the soul into poison.
I am the water of that well
which gives life to the roots,
apart from the fire of dust and blood,
beyond the smoke of the age.

Then I return
to my silent center.
Let galaxies keep turning.
Let constellations drift in time's current—
I remain firm-footed.
My silence
is a seal stamped upon time.

I am beyond the soul.
I am beyond annihilation.

Engrave this sign upon the threshold:
'Every crossing is a choice,
and every door is lit.'

I am no bargain struck with tumult.
I am the answer to quiet voices—
apart from the dust of the age,
apart from its rust.

Even if disorder
should blacken the very air,
it cannot reach
the peace within me.

Peace is not a still sea—
it is a shield of stars.
I am that wall
which no wave of calamity can shake.

I stand guard over my own silence.
Whoever comes to steal it
finds the door shut against them.

I obey the eternal law of stillness.
This calm is my sword.
This is the strength of my arm.

For this I stand—
dweller of eternity,
beyond the mortal,
beyond grief,
beyond the beyond.
