To the Heights-XLVII
O my soul, once you lay
Nude and innocent in the womb of the Eternal.
What dreams had you then?
What hopes, what urges?
Were there star-lit expanses, galaxied blues,
Constellated depths after depths?
Or a rose-gold sun hanging on the rim of infinite horizons?
Or a radiant smile swaying the throb of Timelessness' heart?
It stands today, the self-same soul
In daylight's rude broadness,
Amidst the stone-hard reals,
In the externals and the crusts,
Under noon-tide's blazing eye...
Oh, no longer the sweet simple innocence of yore:
The child has grown and now its limbs are hewn
Out of a marble-consciousness!
The Dream has become the iron will,
The secret urge the body's urgent gesture:
A human being that was has yielded to the godhead's
devouring embrace,
The Divine is set in human limbs.
