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.
