Feast of the Light

behold the star of destiny
in my visual field
as i weave my way
around the complex universe
of desire
touching the light
like the rings of Saturn at play
i listen
to the sublime voice
of summer
in the moment of solitude
sustained by the
divine
power of your sweetness
i change
the wicked paradigm
in the nick of time
(moving from chaos to order and some
elements of certainty)
with so
much hope
and confidence
in the new realm of wonder
i glow
like the rising sun
in the mysterious river of love
seizing the moment
i find my way
through the fertile crescent of the mind
feeding the body and soul
in the sumptuous feast
of the light rooted in memory
