With Sacred Signs,

by J. W. Cassandra

"With Sacred Signs" is the eleventh poem of the Book of Stars cycle of my first volume, Eternity Awakened to Self-Awareness. The lyrical self opens up cosmic perspectives: its path leads through stellar cradles, galaxies, and the traces of comets, bordered by red giants and white dwarfs. The battle takes place for the soul, so the lyrical self throws the tears of the stars into the mud and creates the Book of Stars, thereby fulfilling the hidden message of the constellations. The dawn of Venus marks the dawn of a new era: it is a hallmark of starry melody and light-wine, which helps to recognize the dream of Eternity. The irregular pulsation of the poem also emphasizes the dawn of a new era. And the frame takes us back to the Book of Stars, which conveys this: everything serves to dispel the darkness of the soul. The Book of Stars, as well.

The lyrical self is not identical with me.

I trace star cradles, white dwarfs, red giants,
I follow up, traces of galaxies and comets.
I reveal the glittering light of the visible sky,
I fill in the hidden message of the constellations:
I bring brightness to the darkness of your soul,
I preserve completeness by the existence of dark matter.
I scatter the tears of the stars in the mud on Earth,
I write the book of the stars with sacred signs.

Unravel the secret of small stars that are invisible,
Unravel the path of lightning that flashes in your soul!
A melody is resounding, written by the stars,
If you do not understand its words, just croon it softly...

The word permeating the SILENCE makes sense,
The mist covering your being is filled with light.
The beautiful Sun shines with brightness at last,
The dawn of Venus is breaking for a message of stars.

Venus-dawn cracks a whip from the stars,
Sip light wine from a fine goblet!
If you taste it, you can feel its flavour,
You forget the desire for false lives.
You finally recognize the dream of Eternity,
The primordial light is looming on the path of the stars...

I have come for you to see the arch of the stars,
I fill in the hidden message of the constellations.
I will tear apart the night-black mist of your soul,
I scatter the tears of the stars in the mud on Earth;
I write the book of the stars with sacred signs –
