THE NIGHT'S BRIGHT KISS

On the great midnight beach, 
beside the living flames of the driftwood fire, 
she danced with the beings of all the dimensions, 
bright with ecstasy, with the unbearable beauty of creation 
and the far flung worlds, she danced, she leapt, she spun, 
her eyes were the eyes of infinite grace, her limbs were 
the limbs of the living earth, of the singing blood, 
of the spirit, of the soul, unleashed, unburdened, bright 
beyond bright, supple with the stream of galaxies circling 
the galactic core, O she was Union, she was Bliss, she was 
the night's bright kiss, his body knew her, his wings grew 
through her, they rose, the waves crashed in foam iridescent 
as the first spark of the ages, the sand, the moon, the stars 
and the trees along the great gold cliffs themselves began 
to whirl and dance, they swept through each other again 
and again like hawks mating and matching the solar wind, 
rainbows swept in swathes across the waters and the wind 
itself scattered their endless joy in ecstasy and infinite gusts 
into the aching bliss of dawn...
