Jaguar with Heart. Chichen Itza. (c) PARI.
The Old Slave-Music
Blow back the breath of the bird,
Scatter the song
through the air,
There was music you never heard,
And cannot hear
anywhere.
It was not the sob of the vain
In the old, old
dark so sweet,
(I shall never hear it again,)
Nor the coming of
fairy feet.
It was music and music alone,
Not a sigh from a
lover’s mouth;
Now it comes in a phantom moan
From the dead and
buried South.
It was savage and fierce and glad,
It played with the
heart at will;
Oh, what a wizard touch it had—
Oh, if I could
hear it still!
Were they slaves? They were not then;
The music had made
them free.
They were happy women and men—
What more do we
care to be?
There is blood and blackness and
dust,
There are terrible
things to see,
There are stories of swords that
rust,
Between that music
and me.
Dark ghosts with your ghostly tunes
Come back till I
laugh through tears;
Dance under the sunken moons,
Dance over the
grassy years!
Hush, hush—I know it, I say;
Your armies were
bright and brave,
But the music they took away
Was worth—whatever
they gave.

Kin 154: White Spectral Wizard
I dissolve in order to enchant
Releasing receptivity
I seal the output of timelessness
With the spectral tone of liberation
I am guided by my own power doubled
I am a galactic activation portal
Enter me.
Every culture has its particular set of images and symbols that define the nature of mind and consciousness in everyday life.*
