Spirit of Summer Night
In the spirit I see all hanging by the stars
In the spirit I see all held by the bars:
The flesh a curtain hanging under the dead soul
The dead soul an owl held by air above the knoll
The air held by ether of every star so bright
Fruits manifest themselves out of the Depth of night
A sunflower spring up from the womb of spirit
Based on the Summer Harvest psalm written by Valentinus during his time in Rome (139-160AD). http://www.gnosis.org/library/valentinus/Fragments_Valentinus.htm
