To the Divine Creatrix

The cherry in a moment of ecstasy

Awakened me to presences divine

And the hidden truth of life's divinity

Of which all Nature is the living sign.

Although the radiance of blossoms brief

The light within their petals outlasts time

And now I see perfection in a leaf

And earth to godlike vision known sublime.

The plenitudes of heaven here descend,

Miraculous we walk in fields of light,

The darkness in our natures doomed to end

As is the lonely reign of death and night.

For now a sound within the silence stirs,

The heavens and the earth claimed duly Hers.
