Rapt Form
Fire upon the night the way flashing
Cove within Earth the seed receiving
South into North of us.
Eagle upon mountain and the light ascending
The Bowl of the daily dark descending
Stars beyond the shores of us.
The center stays and the pattern fixes
The center moves and the diagram mixes
For many and more of us.
The Eye shines as the east is shining
The Bowl gathers darkness as shade is spreading
The Obelisk stabs down the ray.
The Pentagram weaves its tent overheading
The stars and the Polestar turning and twining
Until the rotating of day.
O day and O night of time
(The weft upon the warp of rhyme)
I backward step to the abyss
Where Form ends and Nothing is -
Where Nothing ends and All-Thing is.
