Sun Blossoms

O Light Inviolable

O LIGHT inviolable, shine on the brink
Of the earth-memory that I may drink
From thy sky-cup the inexhaustible Wine
That brims along the Spirits sapphire line.

The burning flight of Mind has sailed around
The seerhood of horizonless thought and found
Within the circle of the brooding night
The timeless visage of the Infinite.

My heart is now a canticle of prayer:
It dwells like a pure breath of crystal air
Upon a bare peak of tranquillity
Amid the foam of a mysterious sea.

I illumine Nature with my loneliness:
Poised on eternal calm my deathless days
Travel with eagle-wings from deep to deep,
Tearing the veil of the Inconscient's sleep.
