The Aeon,

by J. W. Cassandra

I wrote the poem "The Aeon" recently, and I in writing, I immediately paralleled it with one of my first poems. Its genre is epigram. Its structure is the reverse of the structure of the poem "Homo Sapiens Sapiens 1981". I consciously created it in this manner.

The subject of the poem is the same being as the lyrical self of the above, earlier epigram, who is no longer a prisoner of the dimensions, for the shell bursts and the being is liberated. The Aeon here is the impersonator of the cosmic principle, the Source of the Gnostics, who alone rules everything.

With the poem "Homo Sapiens Sapiens 1981", which I wrote forty-five years earlier, this epigram forms an arc that encompasses the life of a person or being on the one hand, and also forms the cosmic and Gnostic epochal arc on the other. That is why I placed the two poems in one place, because their real message only unfolds if you read both of them one after the other.

The shell of petrified dimensions
cracks open from you –
lightning of ancestors flashes with flame –
a cycle is absolved only by the Aeon.
