Poem for April 7

BEYOND THE MOON

If she could travel out to the moon

with an over-the-shoulder glimpse

of our watery pearl of a  planet,

then journey on past all lunar bodies

to the moon beyond all moons,

her gaze might behold miniscule galaxies

each held together by strings of light

in an infinite night.

She would see how currents flow into form

witness the animation of an unbounded  constellation

call It God and know  herself to be

She Who Floats in Blue-Green Mystery,

Then with google-earth vision,

she might zoom on down

through ethers and veils

to earth, a continent,  a state, a town, a store

and more

a precise place

where she rests in a case of jewels

near a Baldwin bluebird 

by a clucking Fowler chicken

both wearing Chandler gemstones

in a field of Ladd sunflowers

darting about making merry

in their little incarnation.

She sees the cord of Energy

stringing together all that is

has also sewn her into being,

like beads on a thread.

A flame- shaped crystal vibrates

where her inner eye might be.

An embedded quartz

rests in her heart center.

Ice-like pendants flare in all directions

from a core of radiance.

Spinning chakras bring her

from the Whole to the Particular.

reveal She Who Floats in Blue-Green Mystery

to be a planet

unto herself.
