From Love to Wisdom

Scintillation

From Language of Flames

Between the World and our Judgement of the World is the path of scintillating intelligence.

One last little leap into void

One half human, one half droid

Beauty knows the soul by sight

One half day, the other, night.

They leap, these souls, for wisdom knows

The thorn is not the bloody rose

Human is not human true

If inhuman has no part of you.

Not heartless, brainless, but body free

Simple, without empire’s fee

No thought of death or pain or ill

Unnoticed but for beauty’s fill.

They know, these souls, they cannot fly

That love will merely lift them high.
