pity the mystics

who had illuminations

who saw through a rend in the veil

whose eyes were blinded by light


pity the mystics

who turned on to a silent sound

who heard music in the aether

whose ears were dulled to the earth's cacophony


pity these transported

while standing in their skins

you only know to call them crazy

because after their experience


they are wrathful and peaceful by turns

and have become useless to the earth...
