Analysis of Scenic Potion



The African firmament floats in grays and red,
over shimmering roads and hills to set.
Clouds of reddish dust dancing in the breeze,
waving lonesome bowed Citadels trees.
The dirt road in constant sandy drift,
while wild life scatting by surviving tiff.
Scorpio on some rocks by the bent,
Hawks searching in circles spent.
The horizon know in darker blue,
the red with less light come through.
Endless dark blues slowly disappear,
as the richness of stars rise in austere.
Two more gates to open until my house,
smelling already dinner to my arouse.
Days and roads are long and hot,
romantic ideals in time just bought.
That castle of natures love devotion,
visions of my soul in potion.

Robert Rittel

Robert Rittel, born in 1960 in Koblenz, Germany was raised in a St. Franciscan orphanage. As a trained chef I travelled many countries and today I know that it was a search for the deeper meaning of life and its mysterious wonders. In 1996, I came to South Africa, got married and as all reasons create consequences, I met some inspirational people who pointed me to my spiritual inheritance. By studying Astrology it created the passion and love for the ancient knowledge of the Vedas. Vedic Astrology provides a refined understanding of the soul’s purpose and opens the doors of perceptions towards our spiritual and real circumstance. more…
