Sun Blossoms

Winged Release

BRING down from heaven the luminous spark;
In ruthless lightning-fires burn
The impenetrable abysms dark;
Then open like a flower and turn

Each atom to the fathomless
Infinities of an unknown Sun;
Fill like a cup thy consciousness
Emptied of the spirits oblivion.

Cast from thee the rm gyves of Time;
Reveal the soul's intensities,
The lofty vision, the sublime
Heights, the ineffable stillnesses.

In the immutable depths of God
Seek the elusive Mystery;
Jewelled with his delight and shod
With his unborn felicity,

The limit and the transient bond
Fallen like a shattered pot,
Find Winged release in the Beyond
A shadowless flight of a gold Thought.
