‘And the light
shined out of darkness
And the darkness
comprehended it not’
Truth out of the
unknown
The earthly mind
would not understand it
Out of fear the
light and joy the terror
And all the
territory of the weak
The gentle strong
A vast level
lake of brimming light is there
All silver-shine
grey in translucid movings
As still as
still yet hovering
On the surface
A single tree
stands amid centre
The translucent
enigma translating
Braving the
homeward colours
Hidden in its
appled isle
Of veiled Avalon
Out of that inner
lake the vision the door open
Out of apple
seed black the un-blinding light
All harvest moon
white the gift unveiled
In story filled
hues the quest’s end
All wrapped in
these shiny tight seeings
Deeply helped,
deeply freed, deeply filled to the brim
The colours the
telling-things the gold of the seeker
Speaking in the
peace light giving in its filling
Life filled hues
hidden within this lake of colour
Books of grey, but
prism turned and understood
A lake of given
words the heart of Avalon
Ever present the
seasoned light savours the message
While the
underlying spirit waters the inner palate
And the tree
above speaks out her own fearsome light
Out of spilt-blood
red her fiery flame of Orange
Out of rich
gold-yellow her harmless apple green
From dead-of-night
indigo, horizon’s shimmer blue
And all her
velvet purple pansies turning vermilion red
Making of the
tipped out space, flowerings of the rainlight
Forming from her
emptied midst ecstatic bravings of the terror
The dreams will
fit
Buried hopes
beneath the lake of colour rise
All the brave of
the King of Kings are here
As Love’s arm
pierces through her shining opal lake
Offering a new
sword of twoedges made and true
A flaming sword
of light cutting both ways at once
Truth’s discerner
ever within my hidden parts
Dividing me
first to win of Love her endless life
