The Glories Near

** THE GLORIES NEAR **

Here! The Glories have arrived from 
   afar..as far as east from west.
The Glories come riding mists
To lead us leaping over our discontent; 
   over waves lost from their beaches,
  their glimmers grayed,and moon sunken.

The Glories bring our maps to
The Exquisite: our longing, our desire.
But, the routes, so hard to decipher…
We are slow pioneers of the holy-All!

May the Glories set aflame our spines,
Running currents to thrill us up from
Our sleeping, our trances, our 
Vagaries, so we may again seek and see…
