Sun Blossoms

Moon-Flood

LET thy silver silence pour
Wonder-rays of the moon
On my lonely sand-grey shore,
Suddenly jewel-strewn.

Many foam-washed shells there bring
Traces of the high
Lustrous sea where, ring on ring,
Breaks a mystery.

All my prayer and bleeding quest
For thy sky-winged Flame
Led me to the dark-veiled West,
Where thy secret Name

Like a dream-orbed twilight shone
In the shadowy deep;
Pathways of the amethyst dawn
Linked in ivory sleep

With the snow-white vigilance
Of an endless light:
Timeless rapture of thy trance
Oceaned Infinite.
