What draws together
And pulls apart,
The strings between
Mind and heart?
Oh, soul, pure emotion,
That, in madness, punctures
Reason’s veil; god-light!
You, the shadow-born, Moon-
Silent, with your entourage of
Misty maidens, sorrow and
Regret - oh Love! Mountain!
Sea! Oh, Sun! Love-light,
Love-dark! Love-Moon, Love-Star!
Take me there, where freeze the
Tears of solitude and eternal fire,
Promethean, cradles the heart;
Oh, to the pinnacle! To God!
You, Deity, Life-forge! You the Love;
You the Hate! Icy-fire, coal snow!
Bent in pain, firm in pleasure, I seek you,
Dove, beyond faith, beyond wisdom,
Beyond time, beyond life! Love! Pure aether!
The air! The earth! Fiery sea, foaming mad
At the peripheral, calm in center, ever-swirl!
Oh, You! The Magic! The Mystic! The Mind!
The Spirit! The Freedom! Yes; thy name, saith
In bitter sorrow and sweetest joy, in winter cold
And summer’s heat; shadow in the cradle, minister
At the grave! Love! Love! Burst as One! Endlessly!
I, the Lover! I, the Sun! I, the Life!
I love, therefore, I am Love.
