Polar Light of Sombre Sun
⦿
In polar light of sombre sun
Are flickering shadows seen
As Words emerge
Whose dancing light
Is greater than the place they’ve been
⦿
A Lion’s mouth sounds forth it’s call
As red is joined to white
And in that voice
Is freedom’s choice
Made total in the night
⦿
Does lighted wood create its life
Or simply give it song?
Within the form
No longer born
Uniquely kissed, no right or wrong
⦿
A mighty breath, drawn in and held
assumes the power of good
And hands its life
Beyond all strife
To She whose body is the wood
