Lyre is an ancient star system traces all its way back in time before the Terra was formed 4.6 billion Earth years ago. That was quite some eons, but manageable. Vast yet unbeknowst, the very first lights began their journey there seeding this tiny, little galaxy in the immense void of the Universe. Believe it or not, it was a lonesome journey through the frozen long nights she’s capable of veiling one who travels through space with. The darkness could have devoured one, but it just hadn’t succeeded. Just like light at the end of the tunnel, Velotropa 24 -- desitination was finally in sight. of__lyre is a tribute to Lyssa Royal’s “The Prism of Lyra” for her inspiration to the seeding of our intelligence  https://lyre.cargo.site/the-beginning Tue, 23 Mar 2021 12:56:29 +0000 of__lyre https://lyre.cargo.site/the-beginning the beginningIt all began as human form. We have traveled this long distance, sustained the endless dark nights, frozen stiff and then melted away, stripping all down upon our arrival --  when the sky was all lit up. The jungle quietly awaited, and she warmly welcomed us home -- as if we had been here before. The dews on the leaves, and the moist in the air, had all of a sudden been infused with a surge of new, supple energy, that congregated all down the river. It flew downslope following the landscapes the predecessors had mined and walked. There, we diverged, became beings of solitude, and one after one we walked the old paths that were once walked on. self-portraits, 2013 https://lyre.cargo.site/the-remembrance Tue, 23 Mar 2021 12:56:29 +0000 of__lyre https://lyre.cargo.site/the-remembrance the remembranceGravity -- such an unbearable force. Believe it or not, it is not true that the Theory of Relativity applies to all. We haven’t been down here for long -- and yet we simply have forgotten how long. How long ago was it exactly? And when was the last time of experiencing such density? We don’t remember, and we seem to have lost the ability to recall. The halo was gone, long gone. How is one supposed to maneuver foward when both of the feet are glued to this puddle of turmoil? re-emergence, 2013-2014 https://lyre.cargo.site/lost Tue, 23 Mar 2021 16:35:32 +0000 of__lyre https://lyre.cargo.site/lost lostWho are we? Why are we here? Where do we go? The cliché lingers, on and on. Light has never been shed on the paradox, amounting to the immense darkness that once tried to devour the soul amongst the vastness of the void. But then, what makes it easier here is, there’s always a tomorrow -- the first beam of the sun would climb up and pass the horizon, bringing the first ray of hope to the Terra. And yet, there’s always a tomorrow we wouldn’t like to face. lost, 2010-2014 https://lyre.cargo.site/are-you-really-here Tue, 23 Mar 2021 18:03:45 +0000 of__lyre https://lyre.cargo.site/are-you-really-here are you really here?“Or am I dreaming? I can’t tell dreams from truth...” What displeases one most is that, in this dimension, we’ve all sensed it and yet, we’ve got no proof whatsoever. We are born to this world alone, and undoubtedly, we are going to leave this world, again, alone. The undeniable, inconvenient truth laid bare. But we, in the form of humans, still wish to sign up for this embarkment -- to go through the karmic hindrances, whether or not they fill one up, or they hollow one out. holographic love, 2013 https://lyre.cargo.site/the-universal-water Tue, 23 Mar 2021 18:36:35 +0000 of__lyre https://lyre.cargo.site/the-universal-water the universal waterFor the longest time in life that we, submerge ourselves in this unbearable weight of water. Water that can crush every single atom that makes up of you, pushing you to the verge of destruction. And yet, ‘tis also the very own force to awaken the power to surrender -- laid your heart bare, and dwelve deep into the abyss of bitumen -- even if you understand how well all it does is to scorch and devour you. Let them burn. The trick to dissolve and becoming is yet for the finale -- we all know how water can crush. And so it goes: be water, my friend. girls don’t cry, 2011-2014 https://lyre.cargo.site/day-in-day-out Tue, 23 Mar 2021 19:14:58 +0000 of__lyre https://lyre.cargo.site/day-in-day-out day in, day outTranscedental. The unique picturesque moments that could only be captured by the seer, and only the one who sees it can genuinely feel the essence of this word within. As above, so below. As within, so without. As the universe, so the soul.― Hermes Trismegistus And so be it. before sunrise sunset, 2009 - 2017 https://lyre.cargo.site/the-fragrant-harbour Tue, 23 Mar 2021 19:29:13 +0000 of__lyre https://lyre.cargo.site/the-fragrant-harbour and this is lifeThe Earth, the Terra, or Velotropa 24.3 -- whatever you name it -- doesn’t change the fact that it is full of amazing life. Homo sapiens, as we call ourselves, roam this lively place with both our feet, leaving behind our very own footprints; or even if we don’t -- what is there to worry about? Appreciate life as it is. Accept yourself as you are. Align my soul as I would. des fleurs, 2012 -  https://lyre.cargo.site/medium Wed, 24 Mar 2021 05:17:17 +0000 of__lyre https://lyre.cargo.site/medium ︎ wedding post for J+K, 2015
