Epiphany

verse

EPIPHANY

In woman’s form, the god appeared-

the face was hers for whom I sought,

and missed, through fog of days and tears,

beclouded paths, and battles fought

***

Alas, I heard it not before;

for all around me sang her light,

This wearing world, as garment wore,

the hidden sun and queen of night

***

She speaks

“Of me, you are a part-

apart from me, nothing remains,

The seat of worlds lies in the heart;

the only sidhe of all domains

***

But come with me now, by my song,

and leave this surface for a time-

a brief repose, an aeon long,

returning at the birth-pang chime”
