Poems
THEME/S
How shall mortality's grey golden to God?. . .
Behind earth's law a luminous liberty laughs.
O it can break a lotus from blind stone,
A sun from voidnesses of midnight's black!
Our life is a divine desire's domain:
Over us lords a splendouring secrecy—
Eternal wizard of the absolute eye,
Artist almighty, colour's infinite Czar.
Within him all things grow one single self:
The universal harmony of his heart
Gives him the power to paint man's body anew:
He keeps the bright salvation of our clay.
But 'twixt his freedom and our fixities
A vast blank washing each time-hue away
Hangs its miraculous sleep for magic dreams
To bring unmarred their alchemies to our mind.
Deep in a trance of world-forgetfulness
Each mood must plunge: the despot of life's dye
Comes then to wake God's gold in mortal grey.
