Lucida: Map of the Stars

by Serenaty Lumpkin

Book Overview

Do you believe your living?
What is life, but a complex, subjective, and unique experience left to our interpretation and superstition? You may possess a heartbeat, have a sidereal shadow, but are you really living? To truly live is to feel and express. To react and to digest all that there is to experience. To be free of all that reality tries to constrict. The sensation of the world is absorbed into our skin and liquifies within our mind. To get lost within the galaxies, to break under the weight of planets, to feel depleted of everything when drained of our souls, is 'life'. Have you found yourself within the cosmos? What is your resilience written in your constellation? Most of us feel we are lost in the crowds, the universe, the stereotypes and statistics. But you are not. Within asterisms of matter and atomic structures, you are lucida; the brightest star of all. Sensating beyond the eternal nebula and immortal super nova. Not drifting nor existing, but 'living'. You were never lost on the path to your ascension. Just, rerouted.

Poetry is a journey of identity and an evolution of self-understanding. The feelings we can often not verbalize nor confront, are the truest reflections of who we have become. If you are uncomfortable with your reflection, you have achieved enlightenment.

What is written here, is only a brief encounter of your current and pasts experiences in life. A soulful hug, filled with understanding, empathy, and support. Thoughts, feelings, and experiences that are nurtured through ink and paper. The oldest and most tangible creations humanity has been gifted. The very freedom that liberated, and the very chains that enslaved. Here, exists freedom.
