Luminous star


Spirit of The Greats
Haunting us in a dreadful race:
What can be added
Without interfering with their consciousness?

A couple of centuries ago,
The spirit emerge as a luminous star
Over the shadows of that-presently time,
Like a glimpse on the dark-ness.

Trying to decipher now the senses
In those writings
Implies sacred (secret) codes
And deep questionings over the Person itself.

Translations … are doing the worst:
Instead of crystallizing the Original ideas -
Which indeed need a translation into contemporary,
But in a gentle (like as with museum artifacts) manner -
They baffle us with terms of intermediate meaning,
Which turns the Idea into a mere message to the reader.

One generation after another is keeping
The Secrets
To be unveiled by the Future sages.
