Diptych
I Have Looked on Images
10/31/00
I have looked on images of Her
That blind our human eyes
With a brilliance from another
World of crystal skies.
The eternal godhead here descended
From its gold infinity
Signals us the night is ended
Of our dark obscurity.
She Who Dwells Within
9/7/00
Softly She walks on white-clad feet
In the garden of our consciousness
Are the flowers of aspiration meet
As gifts to grace Her loveliness?
She enters the cavern of the soul
Lighting the inexhaustible fire
Matter's beacon, the body's goal
Aerial she lifts us higher.
