Poem
Virgin mother of spring and maiden of light Once fallen offspring of your splendorous son Humbled and now exalted above the height Shining down over all creatures as the sun You are the slim ladder of heavenly wisdom You sent Eve to make our human nature exalted You sent Jesus of Sabaoth to man’s system You sent bright Christ to become what he emanated The love whose warmth made this white rose grow above In eternal peace, flamed in your cosmic womb You’re the noonday torch of burning, twinkling love You’re a bubbling spring of living hope in gloom Sophia, you so great, beyond any price or strife That a baby bird wishing for warm grace assured Does not tweet to you, the mother of all singing life His young soul will try to fly without wings matured Your breath-taking compassion not just lifts those who sing for it Your living love often comes before we even sung with our teachers In your heart is tenderness and pity that your eyes emit In your soul is kindness and the pleroma of pearls in all creatures Now we, who have been through every path and place From rivers of flames to the outer darkness Now to this bridge, we beg for your inner grace Strength to uplift our eyes to blissful starkness Our souls are on fire like singing phoenixes being born again In flaming passion, we pray for soothing gnosis of the true We pray for every cloud of mortality to vanish with our pain We pray that that supreme joy, that saving lightning, might break through Sophia, who can do all without restraints May your hands conquer the fleshly minds of ours See Norea and the countless stars of saints Folding hands, bowing heads for us fallen stars
