Extremes


ETERNITIES are crowded in a seed,

While the White hush of long centuries

Breaks into sudden re of delight

On the immutable peak of secrecies.


A Viewless throb of wings beneath a star,

And luminous shadows hovering around

A vision-haunted sky come wrapt within

The vast deep network of a primal sound.


The history of thought from a Silence born

That lives invisible to mortal gaze,

Is focussed to a point burdened with the dream

Of an inscrutable and rapturous face.


My lone existence is a diamond spark

United to His sun-immensity

Behind the veil of time and follows its path

Along an edge of unknown destiny,


Till from lifes fathomless depth awakes the soul

Into a rhythmic universe of Light

And the two extremities of heaven and earth

Merge in the timeless heart of the Innite.
