Figure Of Light

Figure Of Light

Back against cold wall of unspoken truth, 
she covers naked beauty of her soul 
with torn wallpaper to hide how she feels 
as if butterfly wings could hide storm clouds 
till her face disappears into green shade 
when her body becomes figure of light. 

Bare feet nestled in spirit-tickling sand, 
she stands on vast white beach of sparkling waves 
with silk kite dancing on end of the string 
that measures mute wind of her ancient soul 
till her heart disappears into gray mist 
that illuminates her figure of light. 

Ten thousand eyes blazing with holy light 
of stars that spiral from first flash of love, 
she stands before me on this spinning world 
as fragile human woman of soft flesh 
who emanates Sun Spider Goddess soul 
as star mind encased in figure of light. 

Fingers counting writhing rays of sunlight 
that crack infinity with white of dawn, 
she models sphere of Earth with color shapes 
which gleams as apple in her open hand 
when her voice startles me awake from dream 
to perceive her truth in figure of light. 

Face shining with masks of ten billion souls, 
she reveals that all gods and goddesses 
of world cultures are archetypal tropes 
that reflect human personalities 
based on actual human beings who once lived 
as divine spirits in figure of light. 

Awake in meadow of blossoming flowers, 
she stands at still-point of the turning world 
with arms spread wide as angel wings of faith 
to sing heart-aching melody of hope 
that stirs my soul with timeless glow of love 
conjured by her words in figure of light. 

Surprised by joy during dark thunderstorm, 
she shows me vision beaming from her brain 
that projects concept of humanity 
at mindless swirl of atoms which compose 
our bodies part of ever-blooming Earth 
so I perceive her in figure of light. 

Image of Ishtar in conceptual form 
as mortal woman who embodies love, 
she teaches me secret of second birth 
when sperm will fertilize egg with love spark 
that incarnates immortal soul of genes 
so at birth we become figure of light.
