    Post The fragrance of flames

    Delicate, multihued and subtle ,

    They bloom to life

    In a sparkling variety of petal like shapes

    They seem to speak in esetoric language , of sacred secrets

    And deep mysteries

    Bending and twisting as something living

    Morphing into a kaleidoscope of shapes

    Offerings to the sacred,

    The holy fragrance of incense,

    Pure Joys of the senses ,

    Sublimated in the holy flames

    (Check the spelling of "esetoric." I assume you mean esoteric).

    I read this essentially as an expression of religious awe. Without having traveled the path that brought you to this point, I can't fully experience it as such.

    Thanks for pointing out the typo. I would replace the word "religious" by something akin to "spiritual" but yes otherwise, it is meant to convey some similar "transcendental" experience
