Life Manifest From Light
Passeth in thine night
upon ship of delight
Seeth upward not only fixed stars of light
Mine ships lights reflecteth stars in white
Swirling dervish of the night
Falling from the sky
Wondrous turneth terror
What be this spectacle of night?
Thine still stars flicker still
Yet falleth they to me
Flicker turns flutter
Falling turneth into dancing
Galactic cluster breaketh apart
Thine one becomes a multitude
Each with a mind alone
Yet all mindeth each other
The many stars be as one
The many minds think as one
What be-eth thine falling light of night?
Obeyeth no laws of science
Closer . . . closer . . . the one is many
Break away on individual wings
Thine falling stars be of life
Flocks of terns of diamond white
Cometh to me thine stars on wings
Speaketh to me thine stars in song
So the word becomes flesh
Stars and star stuff
Be singing birds of life
As such be thine universal mind
She speaks to me again in silence
Gifts from the sky
once again
A different verse this time
Thine giver of life eternal
Mother be here with me this night
Mother nature and mother be one
Gifts so simple
Gifts so pure
Sooth-eth this complex world
Thine universal light
Given light on flight
To this special night
Again we meet and embrace
Universal essence to flesh
Galactic consciousness to Earth
Mother to son
I heed thine word
But obey I must not
Guide, support, inform, create
Those are the words of the world
Or else life has meaning not
We must choose . . . not obey
Beneath the radiance of thine light
Whatever the choice . . .
be the choice
Not actors on the stage
But birds in free flight
Chooseth now!
Unite with the other side
Spread thine wings
Fly to the stars
be one again in light
Fly to the shore
create with thine gift on land
Fly on with eternal flight
Straddle thine worlds
Passeth not
Be as the coastline
Blendeth thine folds
This the latter I be
