Illumination

I wake to the glimmering---
you feel it shifting beneath sleepy flesh
and sense the vapor trails
seeping through my pores
and shading the air about me
wrapping me softly
in rainbow regard
as that sensation of KA--
arching toward the wholeness,
reaching into self
abandoning what I am
when I stand alone
i wait for the moment
of soul fusion
when I become
one with you.
I feel the seeds of the goddess,
hear her voice
beneath my own
I am only her priestess---
yet in the moment
i become the vessel
of divine will
I am her flesh made real,
I am the bride of dawn,
and wife to the starshine
and the moonglow
will come through me
as I come to you
without guilt, regret or shame
and celebrate the mysteries
that were old
when man was new.
My rite of passage,
my crowning glory---
you must keep me safe
wrapped tightly in your arms
while I recite
the 10,000 names of god
until we discover
the ultimate
and invoke it
together.
