Imagine – inverso mundus

Close your eyes and see the universe within,
explore in sleep the journey – end to origin.

Dream rhythms of the swaying trees,
drink perfumes of the balmy breeze.

Now listen to the siren call of your own muse,
sail safely through the songs that namelessly seduce.

Swim high in starry froth in blue celestial seas,
fly past the blinking underwater galaxies.

Touch hushed arpeggios of the vesper prayer
those velvet-flavored vestiges of incensed air.

Taste sweet nostalgia in your future memories,
the melancholy of continuous metamorphosis.

Imagine and transcend all trifles, glitter, gold,
embrace instead all generations, young and old.

Now, close your eyes – behold a deeper truth
renewing universe that serenades of youth.
