Body of Light
So take my breath and devour my mind
This golden orb sails on drifting horizons designed
In its velvet cloth of endless sky it bleeds atmosphere
In whispered blues and grays on orange ceilings so austere
Rise Oh Sun! Your muted passage holds me possessed
In passing beams of brilliant poetic imagery obsessed
In the stream of dreams moving light to darkness in awe
Of this point of wakeful art where headlands rise and fall
As heaven's archer bends the sky in rivers of seasonal birth
The sun erupts imploring the panoramic poet's earth
So in that distance traveled it may lay secretly sleeping
To hide its head below the latitudes its absence beseeching
Emerging for the song of bards once more in its enchanting home
In bringing forth its light and loveliness to the writing of the poem
In communion with the resplendent rays that create our wordy delight
This body of light from beginning of day into the shadow of night
Transpiring words that dwell inside me, making my epitaph
As beauty relinquishes my heart and releases my soul's path
To reach high to touch the sun, the sky, the Moon and earth
You have given me the language for my rebirth
