Five EleMental Miracles

"Quintessence is a thing that is spiritual,

penetrating, tinging, and incorruptible,

which emerges anew from the 4 elements

when they are bound to each other." 

(Isaac Newton.)

Five EleMental Miracles

~

Hu-mans, "of the soil",

are raised from the earth;

the Orphic Egg or Seed

is the Spark of the "Word".

~

Walking upon water

along the course of the day;

head above unconsciousness,

despite the churning waves.

~

Floating through the air,

in the vacuum on high;

the gravity of mental matter

no-longer weighs on the mind.

~

Frolicking through fire,

without being consumed;

the light of the Sun

is born of the flames.

~

Four into one fused,

distills a fifth quintessence;

water into holy wine

celebrates transcendence.
