Tracing the Light
- Tracing the Light -
I trace my hand over my womanly face,
And try to feel the beauty mine eyes see.
Like grasping stars in the deep of space,
There is a fire that demands to be free…
Such is the flame that burns in my flesh.
It is a part of my spirit, my divine spark!
Fingers cannot touch it with mortal zest,
For it is divine in nature, not just in part.
Not just a little but in me it is the whole,
A manifestation of my true, higher self!
Just as infinite and eternal, as my soul…
For I am a vessel, for a celestial wealth,
Beyond treasure, beyond price or worth.
I feel oneness with grand cosmic forces,
Even as I feel the life of this very Earth!
These are the hands that pen fair verses.
I long to show the world the full beauty,
Of the infinite me, and all: that I can do.
These hands held the strands of destiny,
And my lips speak of knowledge true…
I give such knowledge to all,
And in that, I heed Fate’s call.
What can a mirror show me of divinity?
I know what lies far beyond my visage.
The truth of my nature and its’ nobility,
Reflected in my form’s angelic image…
Stuff of the stars, and of things beyond!
Alien to some, but to me most familiar.
I strive for one great victory to be won,
And I have striven, oft, in every sphere.
In every facet of reality past counting…
Whilst this flesh shows but the surface,
As, beneath it, the inferno is mounting.
The emerald flame of an angel’s grace,
My wings of light, waiting to emerge…
To enfold those I love, and all I desire!
It is an indescribable, heavenly, urge…
Like when a poetess takes up, her lyre.
Few mortals ever feel aught as similar,
To the otherworldly notions I oft hold.
In mine eyes, there is a blue glimmer,
Like the Earth amidst the stellar void!
Eyes that hath witnessed all,
To better heed, of Fate’s call.
Within the depths of the infinite self…
I trace the light, in the velvet darkness.
My spirit’s light, fair as faerie or elf…
Kindred who so revere their mistress,
Even if they forget, my ancient name!
Such reveries, no human may fathom.
Look deeper; see not all is the same…
Cast thy eyes, from top to the bottom.
Gaze into the vastness of all creation,
See its’ origins, and taste its’ endings.
Join the very gods, in a celebration…
Of rising up, and swiftly descending,
Unto pleasures and joys so profound!
The power of gnosis in me manifest…
Which I teach to others, so profound,
Reminds me, of what none can resist.
Truth in beauty, and also beyond it…
So many gifts to receive, and to give,
For a goddess bestows, as seeing fit!
My gifts, I grant, unto all as so live…
I give such knowledge to all,
And in that, I heed Fate’s call.

I trace the light, in the velvet darkness.
My spirit’s light, fair as faerie or elf…
Kindred who so revere their mistress,
Even if they forget, my ancient name!
I love these lines, Jessica. I feel them. Beautiful Poem overall. As usual. I will keep this for later reading.

My heartfelt thanks, sister! So glad you enjoyed the read. Indeed, that is ever how such journeys begin... within... and sometimes where they can end as well. But oh, the places such journeys can take us in the meantime! :D
