Effervescence Of Flaming Incense Poem by Margaret Alice Second

Effervescence Of Flaming Incense

Rating: 4.0


All manifestation is an approximation,
a symbol, of the deeper metaphysical
meaning and being behind it, thus the
dance - the sultry but stylised tango -
is a symbol of spiritual communion,
regeneration through reconstitution
of different energies, transcending
confines of physical existence in the
effervescence of flaming incense

Delight and joyous movement in an
eternal perpendicular movement of
seeking and finding - engaging and
escaping in continuous flight towards
the magical realms beyond the path
of the sun within the ever-expanding
universe - which is only accessible to
ecstasy, the wise insight experienced
by the wondering human spirit…

this poem reminds me of a scene in a movie called The Way, and there are gypsies and a few tourists together at a nighttime gathering all dancing in firelight in an alley or something...and i think of a lecture by Daniel Robinson on Nietzsche, when he talks about the Latin or maybe the Greek root of the word ecstacy - ecstasis - which meant a distraction of oneself or - to leave one's self... very interesting poem.
