You Are Day and Night To Me

You are day and night to me—
Much more,
My before 
And yet to manifest
Within You I circulate
While beyond You
Still more of You
I seek to elevate—
The vine of my spirit
Reaching up, and then
Further,
Each leaf of me suspended 
The craving
Is light—
I am in balance…
Elevating for illumination
All of me
Grasping and lifting,
Following transparency 
Of new veins
And meridians,
Seeking mastery
While saturated
With love....

This is an all-encompassing passion, 'My before And yet to manifest' Grace threw me a little, thought it was about a lover, but it could be about the Almighty too. I prefer to think of it as an all consuming ecstasy, either way it's magnificent Joe!

You know, you're right, Paloma; I just changed the poem and stopped it at love--means the same:)
