Sunpoem
Beneath the greening of the summerwarmed earth
Corruption proceeds in its slow work
Feeding the living on the fruits of its breakage
Of the form and substance of the dead...
From this, on clearest days
Is born that striving towards the warm golden light,
The reach of leaf, of wing, of coarsened coat,
Hairless face -
The upward, joyful swim through welcome heat
Flooding down upon us from the sun,
The fire that called this life forth from a stone.
She shines upon the boundless deeps,
Her light a song that rings upon the flesh, the fur,
The rock, the waters
Calling out the life to dance and die and dance again
The nearness of her sacred touch a gift
Granted here, for no reason, by the Infinite Mother -
This jewel in a wombfull of stars.
