Cosmic Egg

And the birth of a prophet

Cosmic Egg is a painting by Ica Pavon which was uploaded on March 12th, 2019.

When you dip thy feet in a hot water spring the rainbow shall slither like a serpent curled around an ancient tree

The seven shades of white will make seven prophecies —

1

From here and there some voices you’d hear because you can decode the language of air Places whose existence cannot be proved such as oceans where sand flows instead of water would only be known to you

2

You’d look at this world from a place where you’re asleep Disconnected from reality you’d walk on a ground that you cannot feel Sometimes you’ll flow along your emotions other times, you shall be capable of keeping them at your knees

3

The trials won’t end and your bones would bend breaking into salt crystals like butterflies, they’d hop from one flower to another Those disloyal wanderers will buzz your conscience like honey bee teasing for the fruits that may never sweeten

4

From purple to teal every color will resonate with magic yet sometimes your faith will disguise as a maze to distract you by laughing at your face

5

At the center of an infinite journey you shall be in cold sweat inside a warm tent when a deceptive voice would try to convince that one day you’d reduce to cinder and milk It might intend to engulf the meat of your soul but know that it is fated to fall apart in front of your heart and fail in all attempts of breaking your guard

6

The morning following the night of revelation you shall finally be able to watch planets with a raised vibration They’ll resemble snakes guarding a cosmic egg when you shall witness the birth of a fawn that will grow up into the prophet of dawn

7

As long as you keep your eyes open and ears deaf to trickster squeals you will live here as an immortal memory of a blurred dream where you will discover the whole creation as a product of your own prayer
