TRANCE

I am a glaucous haze gliding along

the curves of an indigo vortex,

sliding past silver filaments and

stippled grey webs. Unseen forces

propel my misty form upon its

helical path through time and space

toward an Infinite Nothingness

its own thirst for knowledge impels

to birth and death.

A fugue of flimmering and flowing,

of floating and flowering, 

of fragrant films, winds and curls

as a vaporous stream, lithe,

diffuse, yet cohering, lacing lattices

of lambent Light, unchanging, 

unmoving, this companion of the

soul's sublime solitude.

A pale gold unguent bathes the void,

glazes strands so slight,

these I scarce can sight. How it glows

and warms, this fruit of

intrepid odysseys o'er Life's pathways, 

of tyrants and temptations

vanquished, faintly fulgurating,

as Dawn's flame in the bell of a lily!
