In the immensity of space
In the man-made construct of time
In the energy that permeates the all
My spirit floated and soared.
In the birth without a womb
In the existence which knew no wound
In the light which knew no tomb
My soul wandered and searched.
The cosmos my home
Mercury my throne
Which giddily spun
To avoid the fatal pull of the sun.
Castor and Pollux amused
Briefly united but forever refused.
Through the air I made my way
At the sight of Earth I began to sway
By gravity delayed
By the pain dismayed
My ethereal body lagged behind
Artificial lights pierced my mind.
No warm embrace
No familiar face
No soothing voice
All this because of choice?
What lessons to learn
What tears to shed
What smiles to share
For a great love to yearn.
This I tested
That I tried
For a person I suffered
For another I cried.
Still no sign of the light
Surrounded by gloom and an endless night
I called out to me
I called out to you
I called out to us
I agony I screamed your nameless name
And when all was foresaken, at last you came.
I stared and stared
Incredulous to you my Being I bared
My heart you took
My heart I gave
My spirit freed
My body shook.
I yielded, I surrendered
Divine, sublime
For this love I was intended.
