Sun Blossoms

Invocation

O FLICKERING stars, perched on a granite poise of sky,
Drop from your heaven-assailing height
Myriad-hued dreams on slumbering earth-memory
Edged with a dimly throbbing night.

Bring on the billows of your fathomless diamond seas
Echoes of far infinity
Into the dark grey margins of our silences,
Their pages of colourless history.

Lift us from narrow circles of our life
To your deep mystery-chanting choir
Beyond our altars shadow-rapt flames pale and brief,
Of your soul-gripping song unaware.

Leave in the stillness of our grey-haunted shore
Trails of your Spirits moon-pearled glow,
And write in our sand-emptiness the mystic lore
Scrolled on your sapphire-luminous brow.
