What is recorded here

Magic is not fantasy here. It is the shape of the world before ego arrived. The chamber is a jar of living water. The spiral is a breathing lung. The tower is a music pipe for heaven. The well is a tear from the divine. The chamber is a birth canal for light. The maze is a playground for souls. The door is a membrane between worlds. The stair is a ladder for angels. The hall is a dancing floor for stars. The vault is a womb for galaxies. The spiral is a dancer in the dark. The chamber is a heart beating in eternity.
