Poems

PURIFICATION RITUAL

In moments of love shared with the tide

You dive within

And forget all else.

 

The Goddess of indifference

Polishes your soul

That hourglass which flows

Between emptiness and fullness

Fullness and emptiness

You are purified

Not symbolically but

Rather in actuality.

 

In the rite of fusion

You dive within your self, as into the sea

You do not lack distance

You wish to return.

 

Objective differences

Vanish subjectively.

 

You are a drowned psyche

Free from fear.

Beloved by God, Emanuela of Hemus,

One with yourself, oneloving.

 

One – when all is indifferent to you,

In that mystical consonance,

In that divine onesoulness.

 

With your soul inundated, you open your eyes

At the end of the world

Like new.
