Atlantis
There were three of us, innocent and youthful, playing in the company of our grandmother.
When my sisters were not looking, he came up to me and persuaded me to follow him. His was also the face of youth, but blanketed with thick beard and long wavy hair. He tricked me to his inverted guard tower, a sunken granite dome where he and another fellow were put on watch, to watch what, I didn't know. Separated from my sisters, I felt fear and wished desperately to return, but I alone must climb to the top. This was his intention all along. Left without a choice, I began climbing...rope ladders appeared upwards as I carefully took my steps. It was a difficult climb, each step lasted a life time and the probability of me falling to my death seemed greater than my logic mind.
When I finally reached the top, it was not the top at all but a narrow pole positioned in the middle of nothingness. The bottom, now seemed too deep of an abyss to go back down, and the space above deemed too great to contain any escape. On the opposite far side, I saw another figure, which resembled myself but the face was too far to tell. She too was alone on a narrow pole. As I tried harder to make sense of her face, I saw a thin thread coming towards me, and I knew then that was my cue to leap. The figure on the opposite side appeared to have done the same. In mid air, we didn't fall but were coming towards one another from opposite ends, both aiming for the thin thread, I assumed. When close enough, I noticed the thread had a scroll attached, I reached out and grabbed it while the figure missed it and fell.
Strangely, I then found myself standing safely on a higher platform, there were many people there and they seemed relieved that I had the scroll. But before I could open it, the ground began to shake, and everyone started fleeing from the scene. I looked down and saw the ground broke open in circles and water started gushing in. I ran with the people and all of a sudden, a tall man tried to seize the scroll from me, and in our struggle, the scroll fell into the waters. Too late for that, I ran forward. Amidst the chaos, I sensed someone behind me, he was shooting people with a weapon, not so much a gun with bullets but with rays. There were mothers and young children, and their blood erupted into infinite molecules outside of their bodies upon contact with it.
I couldn't remember what happened to me, I doubt it mattered.

still
When the eyes are closed,
Monsters come out to play.
A total penumbral lunar eclipse,
Still in the shadow, still in the light.
Let's meet there and forget the rest.

Auspicious
The moment when she was born, the wise old man uttered the word auspicious. The parents assumed he meant lucky but lucky she was not. Sickly from birth and misunderstood as a child, she grew up in a concrete jungle, oblivious of her true abilities - the one who looks at birds, and sometimes thunder and lightning.
This art, this lost art.

Turning Right
At dawn and at dusk,
Twilight moments.
Anima gnawing,
Spirit wandering.
You and I,
These hidden things shall come to light.
Come to light.
Twilight moments.
Anima gnawing,
Spirit wandering.
You and I,
These hidden things shall come to light.
Come to light.

It wasn't until 30 odd years later that he finally discovered his true birth condition:
Before the deterministic formation of the flesh and bones, and before his little tail fell off to make room for the rest, he was momentarily set free to start afresh. Crawling out into the three-dimensional world, the knowledge became dormant, overpowered by innumerable suggestions.
All it takes to recall is to not think what it is. The world has few more surprises.

Level 1
In a small room brighter than any light, she closes her eyes. Affirmatively, light takes on the colour of her blood and a dark red is formed. Eyes wide shut, she's seeing swirls of colours, patterns and faces of strangers. This must be the prisoner's cinema.

Elephant Memory
By the time she remembers everything, everything seizes to have any meaning.
Not pesimistic but more appreciation.

A master and a disciple are travelling at night.
The moon is dim and the thick fog refuses to leave tonight.
To get to the other side, they must tread pass an abandoned cemetery.
"Master, I think I hear something..."the disciple speaks.
The Master makes no reply.
"Master, I think I see something..." fear is beginning to feel real for the disciple.
The Master remains quiet.
"Master! I see a ghost in front of me! Blocking my way!" frozen at his steps, the disciple screams.
This time, the Master turns around, still not a word, takes out a rather large, empty glass jar from his sack. The disciple throws a quick glance at the jar and at that moment, he hears his Master's words - Look, Light...and in that instant, the jar is filled with moving light particles, colliding and merging into countless fireflies, escaping from the jar and filling up the dark sky.
The fog is gone.
The Master and the disciple finally reach the other side.
"How can I do the things you do, Master? The disciple asks.
"You just did, go on, make another reality...but without me this time." Poof, the Master is gone.
In an empty space, the disciple begins to understand his true power of participation.
