Mind bows with grace to heart so loved
while courage to tremble abides inexorable within me.

Then deep inside heart’s ember,
past the smoldering camouflage,
a cosmic wind invades.
And Inner Light Aroused erupts in arabesque.
And universe, breathing, propels primordial heart-fire
through ocean depths immeasurable
of currents
flowing
endlessly
homeward.

December 1986
