The Unknown Language
If found twice
alive by faith in love alone
And my own self
my own enemy
Then was my
dragon slain
Of one stone in one single stroke---
And taking
up of serpents with no hurt
If found twice freed by faith in love alone
By drinking the
deadly thing alone
And myself, my
own enemy
There was inner
health and wellness
The drink
which killed my dragon: Life
If found twice
alive by first finding I was fallen
Made my own
enemy I am my loving friend
Then were my
soiled garments sold for a sword
My hoarded goodness,
my filthy rags the price
A sword of
discerning for deceitful clothing
In Everland’s
fire the Life found twice alive
New minds and
hearts breathing only love
There was the
unknown language spoken
A deciphering of Life with new lips
The gifted sequence bound in unveiling lines
The stars cannot
be seen where I can see
Out of darkness
came the casting up
There the pulling
of truth from offence
Light on old
spoiling things and they fled
I break and my
shadows flee away
Seeing in light
the stars which my eyes cannot see
And the flying
through in the undoing of me
I see what I
cannot see and truth made free is spoken
There this liveliness of speech in a clay chalice
And a pouring out of knowledge in a rain of stars
Turn, my beloved,
my bruised heart is broken
Let me fall upon
the mountains of spices
