A Poet's Vision Quest for Beauty, Magic and Infinite Grace

GAZELLE

She had her sweet secrets, 
her arrows of love, her dances 
of darkness and despair, her confusions, 
her dreams, her inspirations, she was truly 
the galaxy's child, my moon mad secret lover, 
wild with joy, destruction, rebirth and Light, 
in an instant her world could change, the universe 
could shatter, ghosts could run shrieking through the city 
or the many splendored dawn could boldly rise 
in our hearts, I never knew, I could never fathom the key, 
the grace, the Vision that drove her, except that I myself 
was possessed by that same wild Muse, that same 
bright Vision, unknown, indecipherable, majestic 
and pure, pure, pure, beyond all possible meanings 
of the world, deeper than all depths and ringing from 
the highest mountain citadel, she danced, she danced, 
she danced, out among the gazelles of ice, the glittering 
snow tigers, the comets that scarred the midnight wind 
with diamonds deep and powerful, the great wave rose, 
the continents shuddered, the ocean sang and there 
on the sky drenched beach we made 
Love, and Love made us...
