Sun Blossoms

Deliverance

I HEAR thy footfalls at my Spirits door,
O Beauty, my quest is done; I seek no more.
My eyes importunate dwell upon thy Face
And drink a cup of ecstasy from each gaze.

Bowing my head at thy immaculate feet
I feel that thou controllest every beat
Of my human heart by a miraculous power
That grows like a young sun from hour to hour.

Thy hands least touch brings back into my mind
A deep glimpse of a memory behind
The veil of time, when my soul was with thee,
An intimate part of thy infinity.

Again into the lone empyrean height
I climb like a star from the abyss of night
To find in thee my lost primeval home,
Escaping from earth's mortal martyrdom.
